NOB- World news: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the rise. It is also a threat to jobs in the near future. According to a recent report. AI can destroy jobs in eight different sectors in the next five years. This is raising serious concerns in the service industry. From driving to coding, AI has the potential to eliminate a wide range of positions. Simply, AI can become a metaphorical ‘dust monster’, even putting the jobs of those who designed it in danger.

Threat to eight sectors

1. As mentioned in various reports, companies like IBM have already started hiring AI agents for recruitment. This indicates that the HR sector is not immune to the advancement of AI. Following in IBM’s footsteps, many organizations are likely to adopt AI technologies for their recruitment processes.
2. Researchers suggest that AI will also put jobs in the driving industry at risk. Autonomous vehicles are in the pipeline, and once they are fully operational, AI could act as your personal driver, eliminating the need for many drivers within the next five years.
3. The coding industry is set to be hit hard. With the introduction of tools like Google Gemini Deep Research, AI can now code for you. Reports suggest that AI could soon be able to handle basic coding tasks, posing significant challenges for newcomers to the field.
4. AI poses a threat to jobs in the security sector because it could act as a personal cybersecurity assistant, helping individuals prevent large-scale cyber fraud. Personal assistants or secretaries could also be reduced in their roles thanks to AI technologies that can handle email reports, daily tasks, and more.
5. Jobs in sales are also at risk as AI takes over everything from sending online messages to responding to inquiries.
6. E-commerce businesses are poised to leverage AI tools for product listings and customer communications.
7. Moreover, AI could enter the restaurant industry in the next five years, automating tasks such as taking orders, generating receipts, and serving dishes. Notably, cities like Kolkata and London are already using robots to deliver food.
8. Finally, the impact of AI extends to branding and content management on social media, meaning jobs in these sectors could also face disruption as AI technology becomes more widespread.
