Of all the concerns that Artificial Intelligence raises, the possibility of obliterating a massive population of the human workforce by wiping out the requirement for manual labour pops into our heads first.
You might have heard for almost a decade that the human workforce will be replaced by robots in the future. But automation and robots will not expunge employment; instead, they will help modify them. While certain human skills, such as repetitive and dull tasks like data entry can be mechanized, AI cannot imitate interpersonal skills. Here are five skills that artificial intelligence cannot replicate.
Robots cannot replicate empathy.
Unlike programmed software that are specifically designed to perform a particular task, humans are capable of showing and feeling emotions. As odd as it may sound, the personal affinity between an organization and its employees forms the bedrock of a professional relationship. Humans require a personal relationship that goes beyond the professional realm to develop human trust and connection - something that automation technology cannot imitate.
Creativity is unique to human beings
When it comes to creativity, humans are superior to artificial intelligence. Organizations will always feel the need to employ creative individuals who can create new dreams and possibilities for a better future. In addition, as the world transforms to get more AI-enabled, humans will be increasingly entrusted with innovative tasks.
Teamwork and collaboration are not for robots.
For organizational growth, firms require excellent collaboration skills that can be accomplished through the recruitment of talented individuals. Every organization requires employees who can effectively collaborate with others and contribute to the holistic development of the firm.
Technological management
You might think that the most threatened jobs are in the field of technology—if there is something that can be automated mechanically or digitally, most likely automation technology will eventually replace it. But with the increased use of technology, humans with the ability and capacity to create, fix and manage the technology will always remain irreplaceable.
Robots cannot solve problems outside a code.
Human beings can tackle unexpected uncertainties by evaluating the situation— like thinking critically when faced with complex scenarios and implementing creative tactics. Humans have the ability to function under numerous obstacles, but AI-powered technologies cannot perform tasks beyond their function.
You can now be sure that robots will not be the driving force in the future. To make artificial intelligence work, humans need to be insightful, contextually aware, and creative. Therefore, we will continue to offer value that robots cannot duplicate.
