Following on from the Artificial Intelligence thread.. What careers & university courses will still still be necessary for humans to carry out?

I am a bit slow to be noticing all this AI stuff and need to read up on it more. It is scary. When experts are saying that AI will start doing things that we actually don’t understand how it is doing them. At the moment we are all assuming AI is like a slave to humans where their mission is to create a better world for humans. But it seems a point will come where we aren’t actually in control any more? And AI could easily then create a new mission all of their own that we cannot stop?

That's what happens in the Terminator films. One day machines decide to enslave humans and the
machines send Terminators back in time to kill the human (and his mum) who leads the war against the machines.

I suppose that’s more of a worry that them taking our jobs. AI is all well and good if it’s working to make humans life’s better. Although it seems a bit scare mongoring and not sure if it’s really a possibility.

Except if it was set at a high enough level to be able to live on then we would need to hugely increase income tax to pay for it. So it would be incredibly difficult for anyone to get above a basic standard of living. It would basically be like universal credit except with less incentive to work for more skilled workers as you will get to keep so little of your wage.

And how could the same basic income work across the UK? £1k a month wouldn't support someone in London like it.may in say Grismby, or.would it be the usual 'London increase'?

I think it's jobs where you can use your soft skills. They're needed even in technical, IT, engineering jobs.
