WHICH PROFESSIONS WILL DISAPPEAR
Due to the mass penetration of artificial intelligence in the future, professions in which there is no creative element will disappear. A profession in which it has creativity cannot disappear, said for BTA Acad. Chavdar Rumenin - a specialist in sensory, robotics and artificial intelligence from the Institute of Robotics at BAS, of which he is director from 1999 to 2018. Now Acad. Rumenin is the director of the National Center for Competence "Quantum Communication, Intelligent Security Systems and Risk Management" - QUASAR.
In the past, there were drivers, saddlers, shoemakers and other professions, many of which no longer exist. These professions have become rare crafts, said Acad. Rumenin.
He predicts that due to the development of artificial intelligence, the profession of travel agent is expected to disappear, because in the future people will make their own reservations for their travels and vacations.
The professions of cashiers in supermarkets as well as bank cashiers will also disappear, and there will be no printing workers in the future. There is a forecast that in the future there will be no sports judges in tennis, because this sport uses the so-called system of artificial intelligence, which is called the hawk's eye. It shows where the ball fell - inside or outside the area of the game, explained Acad. Chavdar Rumenin.
He noted that the profession of receptionists in hotels will also be able to automate, but clarified that this process of disappearance of certain professions will not be so fast, but will be associated with the introduction of technology.
With the introduction of certain technologies and elements of artificial intelligence, certain professions will gradually disappear and other professions will be automated.
The creative professions of journalists, doctors, teachers and scientists will remain in the future. "I personally believe that in the future there will be journalists, doctors, teachers, scientists, because humanity will not be able to function without these specialists. When there were two identical hours in one subject - the teacher is always creative and knowing his students. he knows how to present the lesson to them. There is no way that human creativity can be replaced by machines," the scientist commented.
But let's not scare people, it will be many years before these professions we are talking about disappear. During this time, people will be able to orient themselves and choose other professions in which to work, said Acad. Rumenin.
There will be new professions in the future due to the widespread use of artificial intelligence in various areas of life. I expect that the profession of specialists in the transformation of human resources will appear, suggested Acad. Rumenin. He also gave an example of the application of this new profession. If in the future a company needs to be laid off, the specialists in human resources transformation, with the capabilities of artificial intelligence, will be able to select the best people who will continue to work, explained Acad. Chavdar Rumenin.
According to him, another new profession that would appear in the future is the specialists in digital transformation. In the future, people will need to be able to move from one profession to another, and large database specialists will be needed. Product designers and organizers of the process of creating new productions will also be needed.
The work of IT consultants will now be associated with great interest in digital technologies. In the future, there will be health care assistants who will analyze data from sensors and artificial intelligence structures related to human health, the scientist predicts.
