According to PwC, automation and robotics are anticipated to transform the global workforce by 2030. Among the likely victims of AI and machine learning adoption in Industries are repetitive and routine jobs. Such sectors as manufacturing, transport and the customer relation areas will be the most affected. No less than this shift is inevitable.
But it is also pertinent to note that despite the rising incidences of AI displacing people in their workplaces, new jobs will also be developed. Technology entails human drive, design and care in terms of development and sustenance. SDGs areas like data analysis, cybersecurity, as well as robotics engineering will emerge. The change in the nature of employees’ work will require retraining and further education, so education and training is vital to job stability.
Layoff threat greatly obscures the positive aspects of increased production and efficiency in the economy. I believe in the context of automation, human beings can explore creative, strategic and social roles which relieves them from monotonous and risky roles. Some beneficiaries of climate change impact include lower operation costs and increased production that opens up for more business opportunities.
To some extent, the changeover won’t be immediate or without hindrance. Such developing countries may find it difficult since they are unable to access advanced education and technology. Income disparity might even increase if adequate policies are not formulated to deal with the situation. Thus, authorities and big businesses need to develop the framework that would embrace opportunities for everyone.
Skepticism about automation ultimately leading to widespread unemployment up to 2030 is futile for the jobs that involve higher cognitive function will not be replaceable by machines. Instead, it will alter the existing nature of work. Add to this the absence of the right policy formulation, education, and innovation, proactiveness remains the ultimate remedy. There is an urgent need to accept change and not to struggle against it if one has to survive in this new terrain of employment.
Conclusion
In conclusion, The future of work has been assured to be impacted greatly through automation and robotics by the year 2030, and these changes should not be feared. Losing a job is a reality and reality also, there is always an opportunity when one shifts his or her gear. With the right education policies, political reforms, and development of new innovations, there is a possibility that the human element will always remain valid in an otherwise robotic society. Everyday life envisages an active and proactive engagement towards work in the future setup.
