Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Artificial Intelligence is rapidly developing but some jobs need a human touch; hence, many are worried about the emergence of intelligence that might take over human work. Hence as much as AI is quickly revolutionizing industries and tackling many tasks, there are several positions that need human features, skills, and emotions to which AI cannot approximate. In this exploration, we will look at sectors that will remain immune to Artificial Intelligence and this has the basis on the issues of humanity that are hard to compare with a machine.
Healthcare Professionals
Health care is among those fields where people interaction and emotional intelligence is best valued. Even though Artificial Intelligence can aid with diagnoses and patient care, the involvement of health care workers including doctors, nurses, and therapists, can go way beyond simple data processing. Being a doctor means that a physician has to talk to a patient and make him feel comfortable, when the latter is in a critical condition. The human factors such as appreciation of emotional subtlety, perceiving the nature of social relationships and empathy are other areas that cannot be overtaken by Artificial Intelligence. Besides, human beings can make an instinctive call when working under great pressure, depending on feelings.
Creative Professionals
Creativity is one thing that is unique to human beings and can hardly be mimicked in Artificial Intelligence. With the fields of art, music, literature, and design, intensity often fits the bill with the help of other people’s emotions, cultural values, and creativity. Although, it is relatively easier for an artificial intelligence to design artwork or even compose music, there is something human in us that can feel deeper emotions and send strong messages to the society. Anyone who makes art, creating literary pieces or performance, music relies on their past, the problems of the society and the culture to come up with pieces that can touch the world. The essence of being human and the creative aspect of the human person cannot be emulated by the robot hence making these professions immune to Artificial Intelligence.
Educators
Teaching is another field which AI cannot cozily nestle itself in and make a humorous comic strip out of. Teachers are not only transmitters of information; they are enablers, coaches and navigators of learning processes. Teacher-student relationship, class management, and student profile are also significant aspects of teaching, where a good teacher appreciates the student’s learning styles and can understand the classroom climate and or student’s current attitude, and relationship with them. Its a well-known fact that encouragement and emotional support a teacher gives is crucial for overall atmosphere in a classroom. Although it is possible to use Artificial Intelligence to tutor or find a tutor, or get educational materials for a student, the aspects of a student’s life, which deal with the social and emotional aspect, cannot be handled by Artificial Intelligence.
Social Workers and Counselors
In the case of mental-health care and social services, there still is the place for social workers and counselors. They work with people who have difficulty in their lives ranging from physical, psychological, substance abuse and trauma. Thus, interpersonal skills including the capacity to gain a perspective on human emotions and patients’ suffering are crucial within these positions. Although, data can be easily collected and analyzed by such smart systems, the human touch in understanding and developing empathy towards the patient during therapy is something a machine can never fulfill. The element of trust developed between a client and his or her counselor is a critical component of the recovery process; therefore one cannot underestimate the role of a human element when it comes to such professions.
Skilled Trades
Most professions which fall under the category of skilled trades involve working with tools and electrical, plumbing or carpentry proficiency as well as analytical and hand’s on skills. These professions are usually characterised by volatile environments where humans are challenged to reason and solve different problems. Although some of the tasks could be automated it is still impossible to replace human skills, insight, innovation, and versatility due to specialty of such filed. That is why such work includes the capacity to evaluate a situation at the place and make decisions spot on which Artificial Intelligence cannot be in equal.
Leadership Roles
Leadership is a social process and therefore must involve a comprehension of the process of human behavior at the workplace. It is clearly evident that to lead requires one to bring together a group of people, make sound moral decisions and govern social relations. I assumed, for instance, that technologies’ strength to deliver data analysis regarding functioning could supplement the management emotional skills such as empathy, charisma, and social signals reading which remain unbiquitous. Professional skills such as the ability to mobilize motivation, to resolve conflict and to build a constructive organizational climate are required and valuable in any sector.
Ethical and Regulatory Roles
More and more attention should be paid to ethics as AI technology is still in the process of its development. Surgeons and specialists in ethics, law and regulation are necessary to help decipher the positive or negative effects of Artificial Intelligence on the society. These roles involve problem-solving, reasoning and moral decision, and awareness of socioeconomic concerns revolving around technology. Humans are required to make decisions based on the ethical question which arises in decision making or implement standards to ensure that the AI is utilized and controlled in the right manner.
Lawyers
Legal profession is best characterized by human judgment, ethical values and interpersonal communication processes. As helpful as technology is there is more to practicing law which includes presenting persuasive arguments, bargaining, and knowledge on people’s behavior. People employed as lawyers need to analyze laws, represent clients and maneuver the legal systems, a process which involves thinking and ethical decision making. Compartmentalization of interest to be able to fathom a client, comprehend his/her needs and fight for him/her in court has always been a human feature. This has established that profession of an attorney can never be replaced by Artificial Intelligence because, unlike AI, the profession is based on trust and communication between the attorney and the client.
Doctors
The doctor is one of the key professions in the system of health care delivery and their tasks do not limit to identifying and managing diseases. Data processing through the help of AI can help diagnose a patient and recommend the course of treatment, but the work of a physician presupposes knowledge of the patient’s history, empathy, and communication skills. Some matters are very delicate and doctors are at times expected to handle such matters with understanding and kindness so as to console patients and their families. Furthermore, medical practice involves team work through working with nurses, specialist of different fields, and other medical personnel through human contact. It is hereby argued that the nature of patient care, the ethical issues that surface in health care provision distinctly define the importance of human physicians.
Conclusion
Although one can agree and conclude that AI brings improvement to production processes and reshapes the workforce, there are occupations which still cannot be taken over by automatons. Careers that call for the application of feeling, imagination, person-to-person communication, and personal ethical decision making are innately human vocations. With the advancement in technology and automation taking over, it becomes important for individuals to polish up on such trait so as to meet the demands of the future workplaces. With such understanding of the role of human professionals within the context of the future interaction with Artificial Intelligence, the better starts are made in addressing the impact that the integrated systems involving the AI and human being will have on the social settings.
