AI will kill some jobs but may offer new opportunities for workers: experts By Michael Lee

The rapid expansion of availability of artificial intelligence will likely result in massive career shifts in the not too distant future.

"AI will lead to a change in the workplace we haven't seen since automation affected blue-collar workers in the 1970s and 80s," Christopher Alexander, the chief analytics officer of Pioneer Development Group, told Fox News Digital. "The difference is that rather than robotics replacing factory workers, AI will replace lower skilled white-collar office workers."

Alexander's comments come as a recent survey by market-research firm Censuswide found that mid-level office professionals are already bracing for the impact of AI on their careers, with 50% indicating that they already use the technology in some form. However, many of the same professionals say they do not have a firm understanding of AI, with 53% indicating they would like more guidance or training on the new tech.

Samuel Mangold-Lenett, a staff editor at The Federalist, expressed a similar sentiment, arguing that some tasks that used to be carried out by humans will soon be under the domain of AI.

"Why would someone need to hire an entry level programmer when they can use an AI to perform the same task at a fraction of the cost? This is just one example, and as AI becomes more common the same question will need to be asked in every industry," Mangold-Lenett told Fox News Digital. "Why hire a human when using an AI can perform the same task? The best solution is finding ways to integrate industry with AI so that humanity is made more productive but also isn't rendered obsolete."

Meanwhile, Alexander believes there will be an entirely new class of professional that will be tasked with ensuring an organization's AI strategy works seamlessly.

"There is going to be a whole new class of experts- the prompt engineers. Prompts are the key to harnessing AI for a specific purpose, and this includes knowing how to speak effectively to the AI for optimal results," Alexander said. "Additionally, the ability to develop prompts and rules for purpose-built applications that rest on larger AI systems will be another major area employers will need to consider.

"The way we work will be different, the number of people working on a given problem will be different, and the 'IT guy' who was so crucial to set up computers for productivity will be have an even more vital cousin in the form of the prompt engineer who will ensure AI works as effectively as possible for a given department or team."
