Week 7: Are Jobs Safe with the Rise of Artificial Intelligence?



In Chapter Three of Surfing the Tsunami by Todd Kelsey, mentions that "everyone seems to overwhelmingly agree that no one should be passive and that everyone should take AI seriously." Many Americans today do not take artificial intelligence seriously, but even in the CNN Business article linked in Kelsey's book mentions that the "fear of robots replacing job is real."In this article, it mentions that the jobs most at risk are the ones that require a high school degree. Examples would be cashiers who can be easily replaced with self-checkouts. This is already in progress with many stores like CVS, Walgreens, and many more installing self-checkouts. Fast food chains have implemented a touchscreen where customers can just order their food on their own. Amazon first store is another prime example. Amazon Go store features no checkout line or cash register the payment is automatic through a customer's cell phone. This is only just the beginning.
What jobs are safe from artificial intelligence?
- Nurses and physicians
- Youth sports coaches
- Hairstylists and Cosmetologists
- Songwriters
- Social Workers
"The time we spend with screens is growing. In-person interactions are decreasing, and we are wired to crave them, so we'll value them more highly. And the people who can deliver them are well-positioned for the future."

They are also the first company to partner with IBM Research to make the first AI designed perfume. The AI tool is named Philyra and it used an algorithm to study Symrise's database of its 1.7 million formulas so that Philyra can identify what combinations is missing or not thought before. Philyra was able to pull up such a unique palette of scents that were never thought to work together. The first AI perfume has not been released to the public yet, but Symrise expects to release it next year.
