How can students identify the careers that will be first replaced by AI?

Artificial intelligence stands poised to revolutionize various industries, from manufacturing to healthcare to finance, promising a vivid array of opportunities to supercharge efficiency, productivity, and innovation. Yet, like a double-edged sword, its boundless potential casts shadows of uncertainty, stoking apprehensions about the toll it may take on specific professions.

The spotlight shines brightly on artificial intelligence, with its potential to reshape the job market. However, the soaring penetration of AI among various sectors has also sparked concerns among budding professionals and students eager to know about the most vulnerable careers for technology.

GENAI REVOLUTION: CAN AI TAKE YOUR JOBS?

Artificial intelligence has made significant strides in recent years, enabling machines to perform tasks that were once exclusive to humans. From automated customer service chatbots to self-driving cars, AI has proven its ability to streamline processes and improve efficiency. As AI technology advances, it is natural for people to wonder how it will affect their employment prospects. While some jobs may experience transformation, others might become obsolete due to AI automation.

Radhika Shrivastava, Executive Director of the Fortune Institute of International Business (FIIB) has shared some effective measures for identifying the careers that AI can replace, empowering students to navigate the evolving landscape confidently.

 1. Analyze job market trends

To begin, students can research the current job market trends, focusing on careers currently undergoing substantial transformations due to AI integration. It is crucial to delve into sectors where AI technologies have been swiftly embraced, including but not limited to manufacturing, customer service, finance, and transportation. By observing the tangible effects of AI on these industries, you'll unveil the insights that reveal which careers are on the edge of change because of artificial intelligence.

2. Job redundancy potential

Students should assess the redundancy potential of different job roles to pinpoint professions at risk of the AI revolution. Evaluate the intricacies of various job functions to determine their practicality for automation or AI augmentation. Job roles characterised by repetitive, rule-bound tasks - data entry, bookkeeping, or customer service can be prime candidates for automation. Roles that demand decision-making prowess, creativity, and generous emotional intelligence are less likely to remain unaffected by AI.

3. Stay up-to-date with technological advancements

In the dynamic world of AI, students need to keep a sharp eye on the ever-evolving landscape of technological breakthroughs. Evaluating the depth of AI's capabilities, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and robotics, to identify careers that may find themselves on the edge of transformation. For instance, as natural language processing continues to be involved, careers in data analysis, research, and content creation may face increased automation.

4. Networking with professionals and experts

Building connections with professionals and industry experts can provide students with a holistic grasp of the impact of AI on particular professions. Moreover, these experts can also furnish invaluable insights on how students can navigate the ever-changing industry terrain and make well-informed choices about their career trajectories.

5. Focus on future-proof skills

Rather than being concerned about careers AI could potentially replace, students should also prioritise acquiring skills that synergise with AI technologies. This entails enrolling in courses or programs that provide hands-on experience with AI tools, obtaining certifications from reputable institutions, and more. By cultivating proficiency in these domains, students can prepare themselves for roles that harness the power of AI technologies, rather than face the risk of becoming obsolete.

WE NEED A NEW APPROACH

AI may disrupt some careers but can create several new opportunities. Not only should students change their approach and attitude towards leveraging technology, but B-schools as well. The future belongs to those who are willing to adapt and innovate. A "one-size-fits-all" business school model is no longer relevant, given the disruption of the status quo from a business perspective. Using AI-enabled adaptive learning systems, B-Schools need to develop curriculum and pedagogy for preparing the next generation of leaders.

How to make Bread

Bread is a staple food that is made from flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil. There are many variations of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, rye, and gluten-free. Bread can be baked in a loaf pan, shaped into rolls, or flattened into flatbread. To make bread, you need to follow these basic steps: Proof the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Wait until it becomes foamy and bubbly. This shows that the yeast is active and ready to make the dough rise. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, and oil in a large bowl or a stand mixer. Add the yeast mixture and stir to form a soft dough. You may need to adjust the amount of flour or water depending on the humidity and altitude of your location. Knead the dough by hand or with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet or dry. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place until it
