Next Biggest Disruptor - AI

11
Jobs that may be “replaced”
by AI-based Machines

12
Police Vehicles
New York: Law-enforcement agencies across the city have adopted aerial drones to
map crime scenes, monitor large events and aid search-and-rescue operations

13
Truck Drivers, Shipping Crews & Pilots
Major car manufacturers will roll-out
driverless cars by 2019/20.
No truck drivers or shipping crews?
Entire transport system will change
21-Oct-21 Dr. David Asirvatham 13

14
AI will create new
content
• Brands like USA Today, CBS and
Hearst are already using AI
technology to generate content.
• Wibbitz offers a software-as-a-
service (SaaS) platform that allows
publishers to turn written content
into video content through AI
video production.
Content Creation and Journalists

15
CHEFS
• Chef Watson, it’s able to generate entirely
new recipes from scratch using an
astonishing knowledge of taste chemistry
and flavor pairings.
• Customize to the taste of individuals
• robots like Miso Robotics’ burger-
preparing Flippy are capable of preparing
meals and serving them up at speeds that
human chefs struggle to achieve
• Add table delivery drones into the mix
and you don’t even need human waiters
to deliver the food to customers.

16
FINANCIAL ANALYSTS,
ACCOUNTANTS & BANKERS
• AI can spot patterns and make trades
faster than even the most eagle-eyed of
human analysts.
• With billions of dollars (or more) at stake,
it’s no wonder that machine learning tools
are all the rage, while some estimates
suggest that around 30 percent of banking
sector jobs will be lost to A.I. within the
next decade.

17
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS OR
OTHER MANUAL LABOUR JOBS
• bricklaying on construction
sites, working in warehouses, or picking
fruit and vegetables on a farm, there’s
no doubt that a large number of manual
labor jobs that once required humans
can now be carried out by robots.
• Ability to work nonstop without getting
tired.

18
AI will fight
challenging
diseases
• AI and peer-to-peer
network of computers
could have the capability of
solving some of the world's
most challenging health
problems by collecting and
analyzing human molecular
data.
• Machine-learning
technology seeks to identify
and analyze illnesses to
enable new drugs,
treatments and cures at a
fraction of the time and
cost.
Machines to help in Medical treatments

19
Industry 4.0
Manufacturing Industry will change

20
AI will aid knowledge
workers
• AI technology also has the
ability to aid employees,
especially those in
knowledge work.
• Tools like Gong, Chorus and
Jog are able to record calls
made by sales and
customer service
representatives. This
technology can coach
customer service workers to
speak more effectively.
• AI to increasingly support
white-collar workers.
Humans will need to work with Machines

21
Transformation of the Manufacturing Industry

22
Impact of Automation on Jobs

23
Changes in Workplace by 2030
• Many jobs will be automated
• 85M jobs will be displaced; 97M new jobs will be created
• 40% of Core Skills will change
• Seamless integration between human and machines
(IR5.0)
• Degrees will become obsolete; Skills become important
• Graduates to remain in “beta” mode – continue to learn
new skills

24
AI will probably not make
human workers obsolete, at
least not for a long time

25
AI will continue to drive massive
innovation that will fuel many existing
industries and could have the potential
to create many new sectors for growth,
ultimately leading to the creation of
more jobs

26
• Eliminating 1M jobs and creating 1M new
jobs would appear to have negligible
impact.
• This would represent a huge economic
disruption for the country
• Millions of people with their jobs at stake
• Re-training and Re-skilling is required

New Digital Divide:
Human vs Machine
• Machines (AI and ML) will challenge
humans
• Machines will make decisions –
sometime, machine make better
decision than humans
• Don’t compete with Machines
