How to keep a job in a world of AI? Get creative

(From CNBC)

Financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and transportation, are the sectors likely to bear the brunt of job losses, according to UBS Global IT Analyst Sundeep Gantori. Speaking with CNBC’s “Street Signs,” he said jobs in traditional sectors that are predictive and routine in nature will be affected.

So in preparation for the future, he advised that job seekers target roles requiring personalization or creativity.

“Focus on creativity jobs… entrepreneurship jobs, arts… and maybe sports,” he said. “We have to go back to those old days where arts are valued. So maybe that’s the future.”

While some jobs may become irrelevant, AI will also create new categories of jobs elsewhere, Gantori said. Data scientists are expected to get a leg up in the future, with UBS describing data as the “fuel” that powers the AI engine.

The firm also recommended investing in research and development-intensive companies related to AI, such as healthcare and advanced engineering.
