The Artificial Intelligence, the job market and education
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) constitutes the most important derivation operated in computer science related to the construction of intelligent machines, which is expected may equal or exceed human capacity of thought and behavior. This can be summarized by stating that AI “replicates or simulates human intelligence in machines”. The occupations most affected by AI will be those with a greater content of abilities and will mainly affect workers with a higher educational level and higher incomes, while in the case of workers with lower incomes and educational levels they will be the most exposed to what we might point out as “robot competition”. There will also be a potential demand for new skills in the job market, generated by AI, that will be reflected in a positive manner the way in which we teach and learn. And it will undoubtedly improve, extend and deepen learning. But it cannot be ignored that education will also have to adjust to the new labor demands generated by the application of AI in labor markets. And it should be kept in mind that AI does not replace educators as many feared, and still fear, and that it supports human capacity and permits to reach much further operating together, side by side.
