In a constantly changing world, the range of jobs is also being redefined along with everyday realities. And with the increasingly alert advance of technology, changes are also more frequent. Many repetitive jobs will disappear and will be taken over by robots. At the same time, new ones will appear, which will focus on creativity.
These professions of the future are just some of those presented in the latest edition, the 5th, of the Future Professions Guide, produced by the Initiative for Competitiveness (INACO). The personnel crisis has led to the automation of an increasing numbere of fields - army, agriculture, medicine, hospitality or police, according to INACO. There are more and more police robots, waiter robots, agricultural robots, tele-surgery endoscopic capsule robots, and intelligent military robots already present on some battlefields.
Artificial power is now being added to human strength, we will increasingly use these intelligent devices with a very high capacity to analyze, Andreea Paul, the president of INACO, explained on Radio Romania:
"Today we are invited to learn how to make friends with new smart devices, which are becoming tinier and more intelligent by the day, no job can be done without becoming digitally literate. In law, for instance, with the AI software that knows the laws of all the countries in the world or in the medical field where there are nanorobots that, once inserted into the human body, go and solve the health problem inside the body without the need for a intrusive intervention that requires a long recovery of the patient. Remote surgery, where the doctor is in the UK and the patient is in South Africa. And these are realities. Or, in English forensics, when in 2017 an AI-powered robot identified for the first time a criminal based on signals sent by people who were able to give clues about the criminal. These things are real and they are developing very quickly."
There will be technological depression, just as there is depression in traditional life, new forms of illness appear, new therapists appear, psychologists specialized in technological detoxification, says Andreea Paul. In agriculture, for example, the digital farmer is already a necessity, who can coordinate agricultural drones that can gather information in real time about the quality of the plants, about the diseases that can appear in the area, about water or nutrient deficits. The same agricultural drones can return with the necessary amount of nutrients or treatment for affected areas, which are in danger of qualitative deterioration. Andreea Paul says, though, that the disappearance of some jobs should not worry us because history has shown us that with every industrial revolution the number of new professions appearing is significantly higher than those disappearing.
