What profession do you want to enter? Does a decent working environment, a high salary, and an early retirement life equally matter to you? Actually, there seems to be a new relevant factor to consider- AI.
AI is evolving at a rapid pace and even employers are making use of it to get tasks done. Therefore, there is the likelihood that some jobs will be taken away by machines or outsourced. A recipe to deal with this situation is to retrain ourselves by participating in professional workshops and master multiple skills so as to make ourselves more qualified for some positions.
But don’t worry too much. You can still have a sense of security. If you are an innovator or a specialist, you are not likely to be replaced by AI. Besides, what is even harder for AI is to have human qualities, which are essential for many occupations. （149）
【中文译文】
你想从事什么职业？体面的工作环境、高工资、早退休对你来说同等重要吗？实际上，似乎有一个新的相关因素需要考虑-人工智能。
人工智能正飞速发展，甚至雇主们也在使用人工智能来处理业务。因此，有些工作有可能会被机器夺走，或者外包出去。应对这一情况的办法就是参加专业工作坊，重新培训自己，并掌握多种技能，从而更能胜任某些岗位。
但不必太过担心，大家仍然可以有安全感。如果你是创新者，或者专家，就不大可能被人工智能取代。另外，机器很难取代的是人类的品质，这对于很多职业来说都很重要。
