Jobs Post AI


What do you think are gonna be the be the most valuable jobs in 30 years from now, when AI is gonna be way more powerful?

I know it's a really hard thing to predict, but good guesses are fine too

30 years is really far beyond any kind of reasonable window of any potential prediction. The exponential acceleration of technology will make the world 30 years from now likely incomprehensible.

With the rapid changes we are seeing, 3 years out may be difficult. Maybe even 3 months. I recently saw a thread of someone who stated every AI related project they had worked on recently became obsolete before they could finish.

Recently the only job Neil deGrasse Tyson could recommend was plumbing or any manual labor job. But 30 years out, might have robot androids.

This leaves the big question nobody can seem to answer, what will people do? If all creative ventures are dominated by AI as well, then we have much uncertainty around the concept of meaning and purpose in our lives.

I've spent a lot of time in contemplation on these thoughts. If you are curious of something much more in depth ...

Debunking whatever one of a dozen AIs say / whatever goes viral / whatever people see and believe. The ability to do research without recourse to online tools. Also, the ability to identify and correct mistakes in AI-generated art, code, writing, etc. Most people don't have these skills now, and fewer will have them in the future. (Clarification: This will be either a government job or you'll be working for a corporation as an overseer of AIs. Third option, you'll be moving nightly between a series of bunkers).
