The robots will become job creators
IT
workers are in hot demand, but their future looks set to change

For
many people, the future of work can look like a perilous place, with their jobs
under threat from a technology-driven combination of artificial intelligence
and machine learning, automation or robotics. IT workers are in a slightly
different position here than most – often they’re introducing these
technologies into the workplace. Even so, they’ll still be affected. Just
because you make the changes, it doesn’t mean you’re entirely immune to them.
Overall
the outlook for humans in industry is actually pretty positive. According
to The Future of Jobs, a 2020 report by the World Economic Forum (WEF),
there are big changes coming in the next three years.

Forty-three
percent of businesses surveyed indicate they are set to reduce their workforce
due to technology integration… By 2025, the time spent on current tasks at work
by humans and machines will be equal.

But
it’s not all bad news. The report also says 41 percent of businesses “plan to
expand their use of contractors for task-specialized work and 34 plan to expand
their workforce due to technology integration.” WEF estimates that by 2025, the
shift from human to machine labor could displace 85 million jobs while creating
around 97 million new roles. That’s a net gain of 12 million jobs.
WEF
says this change in the roles people will perform will mean a skills gap. The
top skills employers surveyed believed would rise in importance as we approach
2025 include critical thinking and analysis, problem-solving and
self-management skills like active learning, resilience and flexibility.
