Generative AI and job security: Debunking the myths

By Ehab Naim

As artificial intelligence (AI) and its subsets, like generative AI, continue to evolve, concerns about their impact on the job security of various professions surface. These opposing views are mainly based on myths, misunderstandings, and misconceptions. At its core, generative AI is here to augment what humans can do, drive their innovations, and create an entire sector of business. In this article, we will see how generative AI can improve workflow, enhance the creative aspect of human work, and give rise to jobs that could employ millions of individuals.

Humans and Generative AI

Research across multiple industries has shown that combining human skills with generative AI tools yields better results than either of them alone. This is because generative AI, with its versatile tools and applications, was built to support humans, not replace them. In other words, generative AI tools are meant to improve efficiency and productivity. This is because generative AI technologies excel at scaling repetitive and data-driven tasks, allowing working professionals to focus on the bigger picture, like decision-making, creativity, and strategy.

Basically, generative AI does an excellent job of ideating, designing, and creating content, in addition to streamlining processes. However, it cannot add the “human touch.” That is to say the emotions, intuitions, and creativity needed to perform many jobs. In this context, it was shown that while generative AI is good at rendering code, human input is still necessary to optimize the output to fit a specific context.

Evolution for A Better Future

Ever since the Industrial Revolution, technology has been advancing at a faster pace as time passes. Each revolution has led to better outcomes for the entire human race, and has seen everything from the breakthroughs that opened up space to the development of cures for previously untreatable diseases. Similarly, generative AI is already being implemented across various domains and has shown extremely positive outcomes in areas like drug discovery, gaming, marketing, and more.

Job Creation and Transformation

Contrary to the general notion, generative AI is here to create and improve jobs, not take them away. As this field expands, it needs more professionals who are well-versed in generative AI tools, data science, engineering, biology, and other related areas. In addition, as more fields and domains adopt this technology, more jobs will appear, as the demand for professionals who can use, maintain, and optimize generative AI tools will increase.

Building upon that, it is important to acknowledge that skilled workers well-versed in generative AI tools will be the ones more sought after by recruiters. In fact, we’re already seeing this occur. These days, scientists with an understanding of how generative AI tools used in drug discovery are very highly desirable as evidenced by job postings in the Pharma space. Fortunately, picking up on how to use generative AI tools is not difficult, and people can pursue it in their free time.

Moreover, the developments of AI (in general), and generative AI (specifically) will help create new industries, like AI art, virtual reality, and augmented experiences, among others. These lines of work will perfectly suit professionals seeking to combine creative and technical skills.

Human-centric skills will continue to dominate

As mentioned throughout the article, generative AI is exemplary at repetitive tasks. It cannot, however, replicate or even comprehend more human qualities, like empathy, emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills, adaptability, and creativity, among others. These soft skills are among the most sought-after skills across a multitude of  professions anyway. This is because these skills are needed to build and maintain relationships, solve complex problems, and make decisions within an ethical framework. The impact of these skills is augmented with the help of generative AI tools.
