Artificial intelligence triggers mixed feelings in society. There are those who see it with good eyes, as Tool that can help you do your job more effectively, Coping with tasks that may be repetitive or more difficult. Others however They consider her a threat Even the least expected day will take your job away.
OpenAI, responsible for ChatGPT and GPT-4, is aware of this situation and recently published a study in which they analyzed the impact that their language models could have on the job market. The study was limited to the United States, but the results could soon be extrapolated to the rest of the world.
“Our results show that About 80% of the American workforce could have at least 10% of their jobs affected through the introduction of LLMs (Large Language Models),” the authors state in their study.
The report also states that 19% of employees would see AI impacting at least half of their jobs. Jobs with higher salaries would be hardest hit. The fewer, the more physical activities.
Additionally, there are certain human abilities that the AI doesn’t have, at least for the moment. Artificial intelligence cannot replace humans in these abilities. In addition, there are people who don’t even have them. These skills require logical thinking and they develop through observation, reflection, and interaction with others and the environment that surrounds us.
1. Creativity
It is true that artificial intelligence can create new things due to the enormous amount of information it can process, but it cannot dream or imagine something that does not exist yet because, unlike humans, it cannot dream.
Artificial intelligences such as Midjourney, Dall-E or Stable Diffusion can generate unpublished images, but cannot create them from scratchThey are not the result of creativity, but of elements that people have created before.
2. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence
At present, Artificial intelligence has no feelings You can’t put yourself in someone else’s shoes to understand them better.
3. Critical thinking
Critical thinking is the human ability that allows us to analyze and evaluate the information that is available on a given topic to clarify whether the information is true, while ignoring external biases. The AI is not able to recognize whether information is true or not as it depends on its source which may or may not have a hidden interest.
Because of this, some people fear that AI will help spread fake news and propaganda.
4. Interpersonal Communication
Includes interpersonal communication Exchange feelings and information through messages that can be verbal and non-verbal. It also means having a predisposed attitude or interest in communication, respecting the interlocutor, knowing the body language of the person in front of us, reacting appropriately and in relation to the topic discussed, showing respect for the other …
5. Make complex decisions
It’s one thing to process large amounts of data quickly, where AI far outperforms us, and another Also, make a decision considering non-quantifiable factors like morale, human relationships or happiness. A robot cannot do that. The AI can only make a decision based on objective data.
6. Leadership Qualities
There are many bosses, but not all are good. In fact, being a good boss is quite complicated. The good boss must lead a team and know how to motivate them to achieve the goals set. To do this, you need to know when to be more demanding of your subordinates and when to be more lenient. Obviously, this task, which is already difficult for humans anyway, cannot be done by a robot.
7. Teamwork
Working in a team can be difficult in certain circumstances and for some people. It’s a requirement in many job postings, and the AI isn’t able to do that.
8. Moral conscience
Moral conscience drives us to act in one way or another tells us whether we have acted wrongly or rightly considering the good and the bad, moral or immoral. Not all people share the same ethical values, those guidelines that tell us how to act, but only we can address a problem of a moral nature.
9. Adaptation to Change
Though it’s often difficult for us, the truth is, if we need to be flexible and adapt to change, we eventually do. A machine is not yet able to reprogram itself adapt to a change.
