AI Experts: These Are The Only 5 Jobs That Will Remain in 2030!

We are at the dawn of this radical transformation of humans

that by its very nature

as a truly complex

and emergent innovation nobody on earth can predict.

>> A poll of a thousand college students showed

that almost 90% of them use the chatbot to help with homework.

>> More and more vulnerable people are turning to AI chat bots for support.

Entry-level jobs are vanishing at an alarming rate.

>> Half of entry-level white collar jobs disappearing

and 10 to 20% unemployment in the next 1 to 5 years.

>> First of all, they underestimate the magnitude of the AI revolution.

AI is nothing like print.

It's nothing like uh the industrial revolution of the 19th century.

It's far far bigger.

It's the first technology in history

that can make decisions by itself

and that can create new ideas by itself.

>> I'm sorry, Dave.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

>> The idea that this AI disruption doesn't lead us to some very human catastrophe,

I think, is overly optimistic.

>> My worst fears are that we cause significant we the field, the technology,

the industry cause significant harm to the world.

If that really happened,

like if we really did just discover

that there were a billion extra people on the planet who all had PhDs

and were happy to work almost for free,

that would have a massive disruptive impact on society.

>> What jobs are going to be made redundant in a world where I

am sat here as a CEO with a thousand AI agents?

>> I was thinking of all the names of my of the people in

my company who are currently doing those jobs.

I was thinking about my CFO when you talked about processing business data,

my graphic designers, my video editors, etc.

So, what what jobs are going to be impacted?

>> Yeah, all of those you maybe this is useful for for the audience.

I think if your job is as routine as it comes,

your job is gone in the next uh couple years.

So meaning in those jobs that for example quality assurance jobs, data entry jobs,

you're sitting in front of a computer

and you're supposed to click uh

and and type things in a certain order.

Operator and those technologies are coming on the market really quickly

and those are going to displace a lot of accountants.

>> Accountants >> lawyers.

Yes.

>> I mean I've just pulled a ligament in my in my foot

and they did an MRI scan

and I had to wait a couple of days for someone to look at

the MRI scan and tell me what it meant.

>> Yeah.

Yeah.

>> I'm guessing that that's gone.

Yeah, I think I think the healthcare ecosystem is hard to predict

because of regulation and

and again there there's

so many limiting factors on how this technology can permeates the economy

because of regulations and

and people's willingness to to take it.

But you know things unregulated jobs that are purely text in text out.

If your job, you know,

you get a you get a message

and you produce some kind of artifact that's like probably text

or images that that job is is at risk.

>> People use this phrase, they say AI won't take your job.

A human using AI will take your job.

>> Yes, I think that's true.

But for many jobs, that'll mean you need far fewer people.

My niece answers letters of complaint to a health service.

It used to take her 25 minutes.

She'd read the complaint

and she'd think how to reply

and she'd write a letter.

And now she just scans it into um a chatbot

and it writes the letter.

She just checks a letter.

Occasionally she tells it to revise it.

In some ways the whole process takes her 5 minutes.

That means she can answer five times as many letters.

And that means they need five times fewer of her

so she can do the job

that five of her used to do.

Now, that will mean they need less people.

In other jobs, like in health care, they're much more elastic.

So, if you could make doctors five times as efficient,

we could all have five times as much healthare for the same price,

and that would be great.

There's there's almost no limit to how much healthare people can absorb.

>> They always want more healthare if there's no cost to it.

There are jobs where you can make a person with an AI assistant much

more efficient and you won't lead to less people

because you'll just have much more of

that being done.

But most jobs I think are not like that.

So that's the question I often ask people in the world with AGI

and I think almost immediately we'll get super intelligence

as a side effect.

So the question really is in a world of super intelligence

which is defined as better than all humans in all domains.

What can you contribute?

And so you know better than anyone what it's like to be you.

You know what ice cream tastes to you?

Can you get paid for that knowledge?

Is someone interested in that?

Maybe not.

Not a big market.

There are jobs where you want a human.

Maybe you're rich and you want a human accountant for whatever historic reasons.

Old people like traditional ways of doing things.

Warren Buffett would not switch to AI.

He would use his human accountant.

But it's a tiny subset of a market.

Today we have products

which are man-made in US

as opposed to mass-produced in China.

And some people pay more to have those.

But it's a small subset.

It's a almost a fetish.

There is no practical reason for it.

And I think anything you can do on a computer could be automated using

that technology.

>> People in this country want to do certain types of jobs,

not other types of jobs.

And I'm not saying that that's good or bad.

It's just the reality.

Mhm.

>> So, you know, I I I joke like like, you know,

my kids are 15

and they don't want to work for 40 years in a uh manufacturing job.

And I don't want them to

because I don't want them to have the bad back

that I have right now.

Like, no, no.

I mean, these this is real.

Like, you work in one of these jobs for 40 years

and you're messed up by the time you hit your age 60.

So, they don't want to do that.

They don't want to work in a repetitive physical labor job for their life.

And I hate to say like almost no young kids in this country do.

>> They won't have to in 10 years with robots taking over all of that.

>> They they they won't have to.

And like the one knock

that this whole robot revolution people have with it is it will displace human

labor.

>> So if you have this concept of a drop in employee,

you have free labor, physical and cognitive, trillions of dollars of it.

It makes no sense to hire humans for most jobs.

If I can just get, you know,

a $20 subscription or a free model to do what an employee does,

first anything on a computer will be automated.

And next, I think humanoid robots are maybe 5 years behind.

So in 5 years, all the physical labor can also be automated.

So one of the things

that I study as well is besides AI

and longevity is the embodiment of AI

which is going to be in humanoid robots,

autonomous cars, flying cars and the like.

You know, I've interviewed Elon, who I've known for 26 years,

another company here in the US called uh called Figure AI

that Brett Adcock runs.

And both of them have made the prediction

that they expect by 2040 to have

as many as 10 billion humanoid robots walking on the streets,

right?

Uh, and so I asked my friend,

"What's it going to what's it going to feel like

when you're seeing a humanoid robot delivering your packages

or walking down the street

or coming over to ask you

if there's something else you want done?"

You say, "It's going to feel normal."

You know, in the beginning it feels weird.

Uh, it's a spectacle.

We take photographs, but after a little bit we fully adapt.

And that's the brilliance of human mind and society. and it becomes normal.

It's part of our lives.

>> Now, if it goes so far beyond human intelligence,

it's my assumption that most of the work

that we do is based on intelligence.

So, even like me doing this podcast now,

>> this is me asking questions based on information that I've gathered,

based on what I think I'm interested in,

but also based on what I think the audience will be interested in.

And if if an AI has an IQ

that is a hundred times mine

and an source of information

that is a million times bigger than mine,

there's no need for me to do this podcast.

I can get an AI to do it.

And in fact, an AI can talk to an AI

and deliver that information to a human.

But then if we look at most industries like being a lawyer, >> um accountancy,

I mean a lot of the medical profession is based on information. um driving

I think that's the biggest employer in the world is the profession of driving

whether it's delivery or Uber

or whatever it is um where where do humans belong in this complex anything

which is just information in information out is ripe for automation these are the

easiest jobs to automate um >> like being a coder >> like being a

coder or again like being an accountant at least certain types of accountants lawyers

ers doctors they are the easiest to automate.

If a doctor the only thing they do is just take information in all

kind results of blood tests

and whatever and they information out the they diagnose the disease

and they write a prescription.

This will be easy to automate in the coming years and decades.

But a lot of jobs they require also social skills and motor skills.

If your job requires a combination of skills from several different fields,

it's it's not impossible, but it's much more difficult to automate it.

So, if you think about a nurse

that needs to replace a bandage to a crying child,

this is much much harder to automate than just a doctor

that writes a prescription.

Because this is not just data.

The nurse needs uh uh good social skills to interact with the child

and motor skills to just replace the bandage.

>> So what are those skills?

>> I think it's all human skills.

I think there needs

so I think where the world is going to go

and at least this is where I'm taking a bet is

that as the end product becomes easier to produce,

it's the humanity that's going to suffer.

And unless we take personal accountability both

as individuals and organizations to teach

and learn human skills,

they will disappear for all the reasons we're talking about.

So, how do I listen?

How do I hold space?

How do I resolve conflict peacefully?

How do I give and how do I receive feedback?

Those are two different skills.

And sure, you can have an AI friend,

and that AI friend has been trained like the best best psychologist to affirm

you,

the best listening skills that exist.

Tell me about your day.

M, that sounds difficult.

Boy, it's hard being you.

Oh my god, it's so great being you.

Have you, you know,

like it's it's a it's an affirmation machine built by a for-profit company

that wants you to stay on.

Can't neglect that. but for the fact

that nobody's learning how to be a friend.

It'll feel good.

You'll feel like you have a friend,

but you're not learning to be a friend.

They promised us social connection when social media came about.

When we got Wi-Fi connections,

the promise was that we would become more connected.

But it's so clear that because we spend so long alone, isolated,

having our needs met by Uber Eats drivers

and social media and Tik Tok

and the internet,

that we're investing less in the very difficult thing of like going

and making a friend

and like going and finding a girlfriend.

Young people are having sex less than ever before.

Everything that is associated with the difficult job of making in real life connections

seems to be um falling away.

I think the the skill of being a storyteller

and a communicator is critically important for any entrepreneur.

Right?

At the end of the day,

if you think about what an entrepreneur is doing,

uh part of what they're doing is creating a vision of the future

that they think is possible. getting other people to believe in their future uh

and thereby join them

as a co-founder or employee

or join them as an investor

or join them as a customer.

And that's the process of communicating this product, this service,

this future you want and getting people excited about it,

wanting to join you

and being able to tell the difference between what is a fiction in our

own mind and what is the reality.

This is a a crucial skill

and we are not getting better at finding this difference

as time go time time goes on

and also with new technologies

which I write about a lot like artificial intelligence.

The fantasy that AI will answer our questions will find the truth for us

will tell us the difference between fiction

and reality.

This is this is just another fiction.

I mean AI can do many things better than humans

but for reasons that we can discuss I don't think

that it will necessarily be better than humans at finding the truth

or uncovering reality and what made you a great entrepreneur is not

that the company exists is

that you built it with your hands

and you've got the scars to show for it.

>> Yeah.

It was when things went wrong

and you were forced to fix them

and think that now

when problems show up,

you're quick.

You're smarter.

You're a much smarter businessman now than you were 5 years ago,

6 years ago.

>> Yeah.

>> Because you did it.

And I think what we're forgetting is that there's something to be said for,

and by the way, I'm a fan of AI.

I want AI to make things,

but I would hate to lose out on becoming a better version of me.

So, I think there's something to be said for writing your own symphony,

painting your own painting, building your own business, you know, writing your own book.

Not for them, not for the output, not for the output,

for your personal growth.
