Yes, I feel compelled to underline once again the age of transformation that I’ve mentioned in many previous articles…
I’m still not entirely sure how many people reading this are aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Friends, artificial intelligence is coming fast and hard.
Digital technology may turn out to be the harshest trick this era will play on us.
Everyone has their own opinion about this topic, so let me share mine as well.
If your job involves using a computer, soon enough a better, faster, and cheaper version of you will replace you.
Yes, I’m tired of repeating this too, but the object you see in the mirror is closer than it appears… (a shout-out to Jurassic Park)
As I write this article, I’m not questioning which jobs AI can perform. I’m forced to think about which jobs it cannot.
And as I think about this, I’m focusing not on today, but on the future. Here’s where the discomfort sets in.
The future I’m referring to isn’t in 20 years. Not even in 10 years. Probably within 48 months at most.
Of course, widespread AI integration will take some time, but it won’t take more than 5 years before it reaches even the Dudullu auto industry. Do your math from there.
Jobs based purely on physical strength being overtaken by AI depends solely on how quickly robotic technologies become economically accessible. Perhaps 5 years, maybe 8…
Within the next 12 months, the world will seriously confront this question: “What will all these people do in the future?”
Then another question pops into my mind: Why were all these people doing their jobs in the first place?
Maybe we should actually ask ourselves this: Why do people work?
Is it solely to survive? To earn money, gain status, support a family, or sustain life?
As artificial intelligence transforms the logic of society’s work structure, it accelerates the time for individuals to question their purpose and meaning in life. Soon, we’ll be facing not just “what jobs will AI take over?” but “what is our actual role as humans?”
Perhaps future jobs will primarily revolve around what AI cannot do. What are these? Creativity, empathy, intuition, human connections, spiritual and ethical decisions—in short, everything genuinely human.
Maybe we shouldn’t just be talking about the transformation of jobs but about the transformation of humanity itself. Of course, this shift will come with difficulties, but it also seems to promise new opportunities.
The AI revolution represents not only a threat but also a tremendous opportunity. We should view this period as a chance for people to reconnect with their core selves, reassess their values, and decide what truly matters in the new era. However, the issue is indeed deep.
Ultimately, this is not a time for fear but for awareness and adaptation. This “rush” might be inevitable, but how we adapt to it is entirely in our hands. We must rediscover our value and meaning as humans because AI will remain just “artificial intelligence.” The real question is whether we can continue to remain truly “human.”
Of course, assuming AGI doesn’t actually knock on our doors and turn into a “Red Queen.” (a shout-out to Resident Evil)
