It’s going to make for tricky decisions on career choices, certainly.
A young relative of mine took a robotics apprenticeship at Amazon and has thrived. He is now very well paid at a young age (in a geographic area where wages are at the lower end). He wasn’t academically gifted but liked hands-on problem solving. Loves his job and the skills seem very transferrable.
On a personal level, I was very impressed by the young man who came out to sort out some broadband problems for us. Again, he started as an apprentice with our telecoms supplier (his intake were 50/50 male/female - I asked) and he loves the independence he gets to manage his workload (it’s a rural area so getting from A to B depends a lot on your local knowledge, not just a satnav!) and the fact that the technology is constantly changing so always something to learn. Again, he thinks he is well paid in a low wage local economy.
I suspect both these careers should be fairly future-proof; diagnosing robotics faults is probably within the capabilities of AI, taking them to bits and repairing them maybe not so much? Human intervention probably always needed at some point currently.
The other area that seems to be safe from AI for now is management of the infrastructure of the country: hands on fixing of roads, dealing with flood management, cable maintenance etc.
Im glad I’m retired but I worry for my grandchildren. Things are changing so rapidly and no government seems capable of properly thinking ahead.
