It is said that humans might be replaced by robots in the future because of the continuous innovation in AI (Artificial Intelligence). Basically, there are two types of jobs: one is where the AI is superior and the other one is where humans are superior.
The AI is good at dealing with enormous amounts of data. What the AI can do is store vast information and accumulate data. When it comes to the quantity of data, the AI is superior to humans.
On the other hand, humans have the ability to connect information, so they can come up with new ideas from scratch.

Technology has improved drastically over the years. Some dangerous jobs that people do can be done with the help of AI in the future. With that, people would not have to put themselves at risk while working. On the other hand, some people worry that the AI might steal their jobs which would lead to an increase of unemployment rate. Now, I will talk about jobs that AI and humans can do better, respectively.
Let’s start with what AI can do better. One developer made a formula that could evaluate written essays by high school students. Its evaluation is the same as how human teachers evaluate students. Teachers may read ten thousand essays in their entire career, but AI is capable of reading millions of essays in a few minutes. Compared to humans, AI is more efficient in dealing with enormous amounts of data.
As for what humans can do better than AI, we can assess data even without any previous experience. In other words, AI can’t deal with data that it has never encountered before. But we, humans, can connect information and derive new ideas.
When we understand our strengths and weaknesses, you would know how we can handle the concern ” the AI might steal their jobs”.

| Second, the professor introduces what the AI can’t do. The AI can’t assess and connect different data it hasn’t encountered. According to the example, the AI can’t replace humans in coming up with a business strategy because in doing so, one would need new ideas that other companies haven’t had. |
