"Artificial intelligence will make many jobs useless": Elon Musk says you study this

It is less and less strange to see Elon Musk talking about the future of society.Its speculation and forecasts over the coming decades fill newspaper leaves and publications in social networks. En esta ocasión, el CEO de Tesla y SpaceX ha puesto sobre la mesa las implicaciones que tendrá la Inteligencia Artificial en el mercado laboral.

"Artificial intelligence will make the jobs a bit useless," Musk said Thursday, speaking with the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, at the World Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Shanghai.

Según el magnate de la tecnología, esta tecnología ha comprado muchas papeletas para acabar con gran parte de los trabajos que hoy en día forman parte del tejido productivo mundial.

A new industrial revolution?

Atendiendo a las palabras de Elon Musk, aparece una pregunta inmediatamente: "¿Debemos preocuparnos?".Paying attention to what history has taught, perhaps it would not have to be overexed.

With each industrial revolution, the labor market has completely changed.Every time new machines were implemented in the production chain, a large number of jobs were destroyed. Sin embargo, esto provocaba que apareciesen otros.

While before a worker was necessary to put a nut, now an employee was necessary to control the machine that puts the nut.This principle is the one that has reigned over two centuries of industrial evolution.

For this reason, we must not reach an excessive level of concern.Simply, we will have to adapt to the new needs of the labor market. En este sentido, los menos vulnerables a esa interrupción laboral serán las personas que puedan programar software de Inteligencia Artificial, tal y como aseguró Elon Musk en las declaraciones que recoge CNBC.

To enter this segment of the population, the tycoon recommends that young people study engineering. No obstante, incluso entonces, "la Inteligencia Artificial simplemente escribirá su propio software".

So, "what should I study?" Many young people will ask.Again, the destruction of one type of employment causes the creation of another. En un tejido productivo gobernado por máquinas, los consumidores cada vez serán más dependientes de la interacción humana.

That is, all production, and perhaps the distribution will be in the hands of artificial intelligence.However, someone will have to make customers consume these products and services.In this sense, all those and companies that are dedicated to areas that depend on human interaction will continue to thrive, since they will be increasingly necessary.

"If you are working on something that involves people or engineering, it is probably a good approach to your future," Musk concluded
