Barclays cutting 5,000 jobs as it increases reliance on AI

[I*R*A]

I can see AI taking over repetitive factory jobs like sorting and assembly, but honestly, industrial robots already do that just fine without any AI. And when it comes to healthcare or construction though, I don't see AI replacing workers there anytime soon. Humanoid robots are nowhere near good enough for that yet.

Nothing can replace a human body and its capabilities on this earth. May be pure capitalist Societies will feel the brunt for some time, but they too will adjust.

AI is shafting most industries including IT which I am in. Best thing to do is learn a trade so I've started training up to be an electrician inshallah.

An electrician overseas I am guessing because the average salary for an electrician in Pakistan is 1500 rupees dihari.

Aaj Kal wherever you can get dihari, ganimat hay bahi saab. Much to be made in this industry with increased demand for electric cars / data centres etc....

This Sir. This is what we need to do....and honestly, if you are in any developed country, with high wages...it may just work out better. Physical labor is more satisfying than punching keys for hours and other office based task.

A lot of these back office roles, or even freelancer work like amatuer Graphics design or copywriting etc will be gone soon. I'm increasingly using AI in my day job to be more productive.
