However, not everyone is telling the same story of what exactly we should expect, even among experts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Experts that say \u201cYes\u201d<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>There are two theories in this space:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">AI will take some jobs away from humans but also create some new ones<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">AI will cut out some repetitive, monotonous tasks within our jobs and allow us to be more efficient in them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The McKinsey Institute 2017 report, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/future-of-work\/jobs-lost-jobs-gained-what-the-future-of-work-will-mean-for-jobs-skills-and-wages\"><b>Jobs lost, Jobs gained: What the future of work will mean for jobs, skills and wages<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rocked the business world and remained one of the most sourced studies for AI\u2019s potential impact on the workforce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primarily when it came to the prediction from the research, that 30% of activities across 60% of occupations can be automated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a consequence, many tasks or responsibilities within jobs may be automated in future\u2014and no matter if you are a professional or working in hard labour, learning how to work with these technologies when these advancements happen is important to ensuring your career isn\u2019t displaced or you don\u2019t fall behind in the competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report also reports AI and automation will displace a total of 400 million workers globally between 2016 and 2030. However, it also suggests that AI will create jobs as well\u2014more jobs than it may destroy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>It\u2019s impact will also be targeted towards more jobs and tasks than others:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI is best able to automate tasks that require<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sean Chou, the former CEO of an AI startup called Catalyic, believes robots are stupid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll you have to do is

progression and development is overinflated in the media and won\u2019t be replacing swatches of people (if any) anytime soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another discussion point many business leaders bring up that is in the face of an <\/span><strong><a
