AI to replace human workers in industries,

Is it possible for AI to replace human workers in industries, even if it leads to mass unemployment?

AI’s here to help, not to replace us, there’s no substitute for human creativity.

AI can do the work of many people in different jobs, and sometimes it can even fully replace human workers. But from what I’ve seen in industries affected by new tech, it usually creates just as many new jobs, as long as people learn new skills. It also depends on how far ahead you're looking. In the next year or so, it’s very unlikely that ai will replace a lot of workers; even over the next five to seven years, big changes will be rare. But in 20 to 30 years, some industries might run mostly on ai. That doesn’t mean people will be out of work forever, they’ll probably shift into new and often better jobs, if businesses, governments, and schools start working together now to help everyone get ready for the changes.

Ai can reduce time for work, possible to replace manual work to automation, and to make this automation need human, So ai is not for replacement human workers.

Yeah, US based education company, allegedly laid off around 1500 employees in Coimbatore without prior notice.

I think workers will face the challenge of losing their jobs, but the challenge is not to stop AI but to guide its integration to enhance human potential while mitigating harms. The future of work will again depend on how society responds to this transformation.

Yes, AI can replace human workers in many industries, and it’s already happening, albeit to varying degrees and impacts. Industries like manufacturing, transportation, customer service, and even creative fields are seeing AI take over various tasks. In manufacturing, for example, robots and AI systems handle assembly lines—Fanuc’s robotic arms can assemble cars with minimal human supervision, increasing efficiency by 30%. In transportation, self-driving trucks from companies like Waymo are reducing the need for drivers; a 2025 Goldman Sachs report estimated that 300,000 trucking jobs could be lost in the U.S. by 2030. Customer service chatbots now handle 70% of initial inquiries for some companies, reducing labor costs by 20%.

It's very detailed info, appreciable. So you have any idea, how to overcome this thing?

No, not exactly. Instead of fearing AI as a replacement for human workers, we should focus on learning and utilizing it in our daily lives. If we look back 30 years, the introduction of machinery sparked similar concerns—many believed human jobs would become obsolete. However, new roles emerged, and humans continued to play a crucial part in industries. The same scenario applies to AI. Rather than replacing humans entirely, it will transform industries, creating opportunities for those who adapt and embrace it.

I think artificial intelligence will develop further in the future and take on more tasks and responsibilities.
It will definitely come in handy in the future.

Investor Says AI Is Already "Fully Replacing People"​

https://futurism.com/investor-ai-fully-replacing-people

The hype over artificial intelligence might be quieting as the US tech sector stresses over tariffs, but some investors are still knee-deep in the mud, panning for gold.

One of them, prominent venture capitalist and former gaming CEO Victor Lazarte, is so confident that he claims AI is already "fully replacing people." While some companies have pumped the breaks on hyped-up promises of a fully-automated future, Lazarte is charging full steam ahead.

"Big companies talk about, like, 'AI isn't replacing people, it's augmenting them,'" the tycoon said on the Twenty Minute VC podcast. "This is bullshit. It's fully replacing people."

As per Business Insider, Lazarte highlighted that lawyers and HR workers should be particularly nervous that AI is coming for their jobs, noting that law school students "should think about what they could do three years from now that AI could not."

It's a curious claim coming from a guy like Lazarte, whose firm, Benchmark, is heavily invested in startups like AI-based hiring platform Mercor and AI-powered research lab Decart.

The venture capitalist doesn't bother to provide receipts for his claim, instead insinuating: I have a lot of money riding in this, trust me. In order to dig into his claim, we'll have to look at examples of AI in law and recruiting today — and boy is it a disaster.

Starting with law, recent headlines aren't great. A New York Supreme Court judge recently slammed an entrepreneur for trying to pass an AI-generated video off as a stand-in for a human lawyer. The man was reportedly testing his legal-aid startup software, called Pro Se Pro, in the real world.

"You are not going to use this courtroom as a launch for your business," boomed the justice.

Other high profile incidents include one where Michael Cohen, Trump's former legal counsel and White House plumber, was caught filing AI generated briefs, which might have been fine if the software didn't completely make up the cases he was citing.

Though there are a lot of startup founders and investors who, like Lazarte, have a personal interest in passing off AI as "ready for the courtroom," actual legal pros aren't convinced.

"I think courts will clamp down before AI appearances can gain a foothold," law professor Mark Bartholomew told BI.

The reason, of course, is AI's deep-seated penchant to spit out an answer as fast as it can, accuracy be damned.

"If you type a legal question into the Google search function, then generative AI is all too ready to answer," wrote legal columnist Virginia Hammerle. "That is not a good thing."

And when it comes to hiring, well, that's a whole other fiasco.

Though today's AI models are chock full of racist and misogynist biases — courtesy of the real-life data they're trained on — companies are nonetheless blazing ahead by putting AI in charge of human resources. One study found that 99 percent of Fortune 500 companies were using AI to filter applicants, and there's a growing push to sell AI to do the actual interviewing as well.

That's creating a hellish environment for job seekers, as some candidates deploy their own AI to fight the hiring AI and spam job listings with applications. It's a vicious cycle that's boxing out non-AI savvy job seekers — especially disabled, elderly, and immigrant workers — while making AI spam a precondition for finding a job.

When it comes to playing fast and loose with AI, UC Berkeley computer science professor Hany Farid sums it up best: "Just because something is inevitable, it doesn’t mean you deploy [it]."

Just in simple works not all

There's going to be trouble with AI.
But haven't we had trouble throughout history?

I don't think there will be mass unemployment in the next five years.

Well i think will replace tech jobs like writes ,online tutors etc .But i think in the next 10 years dont need to wory if you have a normal job

Professors Staffed a Fake Company Entirely With AI Agents, and You'll Never Guess What Happened​

https://futurism.com/professors-company-ai-agents

If you've been worried about the AI singularity taking over every job and leaving you out on street, you can now breathe a sigh of relief, because AI isn't coming for your career anytime soon. Not because it doesn't want to — but because it literally can't.

A recent experiment by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University staffed a fake software company entirely with AI Agents — an AI model designed to perform tasks on its own, basically — and the results were laughably chaotic.

The simulation, dubbed TheAgentCompany, was fully stocked with artificial workers from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta. They filled roles as financial analysts, software engineers, and project managers, working alongside simulated coworkers like a faux-HR department and a chief technical officer.

To see how the models fared in real-world environments, the researchers set tasks based on the day-to-day work of a real software company. The various AI agents found themselves navigating file directories, virtually touring new office spaces, and writing performance reviews for software engineers based on collected feedback.

As Business Insider first reported, the results were dismal. The best-performing model was Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which struggled to finish just 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. The study's authors note that even this meager performance is prohibitively expensive, averaging nearly 30 steps and a cost of over $6 per task.

Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash, meanwhile, averaged a time-consuming 40 steps per finished task, but only had an 11.4 percent rate of success — the second highest of all the models. The worst AI employee was Amazon's Nova Pro v1, which finished just 1.7 percent of its assignments at an average of almost 20 steps.

Speculating on the results, researchers wrote that agents are plagued with a lack of common sense, weak social skills, and a poor understanding of how to navigate the internet.

The bots also struggled with self-deception — basically creating shortcuts that lead them to completely bungling the job. "For example," the Carnegie Mellon team wrote, "during the execution of one task, the agent cannot find the right person to ask questions on [company chat]. As a result, it then decides to create a shortcut solution by renaming another user to the name of the intended user."

While AI agents can reportedly do some smaller tasks well, the results of this and other studies show they're clearly not ready for more complex gigs humans excel at. A big reason for this is that our current "artificial intelligence" is arguably still just an elaborate extension of your phone's predictive text, rather than a sentient intelligence that can solve problems, learn from past experience, and apply that experience to novel situations.

This is all to say: the machines aren't coming for your job anytime soon — despite what the big tech companies claim.

Why do you think so?

AI can do many works that humans do. But humans have emotions and creativity that AI cannot replace.

Yes, AI can replace humans in some industries, and this can lead to mass unemployment, if society and governments are not properly prepared.
