Professions that will disappear in the near future… including doctors and journalists

Some professions will disappear in the near future due to the development of artificial intelligence.

Postobi Online talks about the professions that are likely to disappear from the job market in the future.

the accountant

Only highly qualified specialists will remain in demand. Ordinary accountants will be replaced by computer software for accounting and auditing. It is now there, but in the future it will be greatly improved, so that even beginners can handle it.

Proofreader, editor and journalist

These functions will be performed by computer software. For example, Bloomberg has replaced some of its news staff with software that writes news faster than human journalists. Forbes already uses the services of bot journalists to create and review annual reports, and at the Big Ten Network, bots write and quickly publish the latest sports news.

Travel agent and bank staff

Almost all banking transactions can be done online, and money can be received from ATMs. Even today, bank employees are needed only to serve people who have not been able to adapt to new technologies. It’s the same with travel agents. You can buy a ticket and book a hotel room on your own.

Doctors and pharmacists

Can you imagine a future without doctors? If not, it’s time to get used to such an idea. Medicine is developing rapidly and gradually robotics in this profession is gaining momentum. In the past five years, robots have performed thousands of more complex operations that cannot be entrusted to living people. Machines are more accurate and faster than humans. Leading clinics practice “remote” operations, where the surgeon controls the actions of the robot, while it is in another corner of the world. In the near future, any operations will be performed by bots. They will also conduct patient visits, diagnose illnesses, administer vaccinations, and keep medical records.

Pharmacists will not be needed either. Today you can buy a drug on the Internet or at a pharmacy without consulting a pharmacist. In record time, the demand for these specialists will be very low. It will only be needed to provide people with emergency medication or to help people who cannot care for themselves.

According to experts, robots will be operational in dozens of fields in the next 15 years.

Lawyers, notaries, real estate agents and translators

The Endangered Professions List is a legal advisor and a notary, because legal advice can be obtained online. One person can advise clients online from anywhere in the world, so what is the point of hundreds of notarial offices? And you can check documents in databases.

The number of translators will be reduced – only highly qualified specialists who deal with complex or literary translations will remain. There will be no place for museum curators and guides – they will be replaced by applications that allow to navigate the area and find out all the necessary information about the museum.

According to experts, robots will also start performing the work of real estate agents in the near future.
