Will AI Take Your Job?

Artificial Intelligence will not eliminate every retail job, but economists say Americans should be worried that technology will soon replace much of the work done by humans. If AI is not politically and economically restricted there is a good chance many retail jobs will be replaced by AI. Today online retailers have already been using AI applications to configure what customers want and how to get it to them quickly.

An example of a business using AI already is Amazon. They use AI to calculate how many drivers are needed in an area at any moment, based on different variables such as package volume even weight and travel time. All of which is calculated by AI, truly showing just a glimpse of how powerful AI can be.

Even though AI technology directly threatens existing retail jobs, it has created many new jobs as well. This is due to the fact that AI technology such as ones controlling online retail stores still require human touch to guide AI. Even though retail jobs have declined jobs such as delivery service drivers and tractor trailer drivers such as Amazon for example have increased tremendously. AI will create many new opportunities; in the end I think the good will out way the bad in regard to the impact AI will have. We need to accept that AI is coming, it is time to embrace it.
