Jobs Safe from Automation

This assignment examines the impact of automation on various professions, focusing specifically on jobs considered unlikely to be replaced by machines in the near future. It delves into fields such as elementary school teaching, oral surgery, healthcare social work, and speech language pathology, highlighting the uniquely human skills and qualities that make these roles resistant to automation. The report discusses the complexities of dealing with emotions, individual needs, and ethical considerations, ultimately concluding that certain jobs require a level of human understanding and adaptability that technology currently cannot replicate.

REPLACED BY MACHINES
Introduction:
The work which is done without any human assistance by the use technology is
known as automation (Groover 2016). This the use of several control systems so as to control
the equipment’s. this report discusses about the automations that threatens several jobs along
with how the risk of eliminating the job of human is eliminated.
Discussion:
There are several jobs which are unlikely to be replaced by the computers or robots
few of them are listed below:
Teachers of elementary school:
The complex and unpredictable nature of the children are completely mysterious for
the robots. The requirement for dealing with the vast range of emotions along with the depth
of the human experiences is far behind the range of artificial intelligence (LaGrandeur and
Hughes 2017). There are no threats for this job in the near future but certainly the peoples
associated should be more caring for the children’s along with being more dedicated for the
job.
Oral Surgeons and Maxillofacial Surgeons:
There is a requirement of highly specialised surgeons for performing operations on
teeth, jaw, and face. Till now it is not possible for the autonomous robots to perform such
operations but it’s not impossible (Mathiason et al. 2014). There are various nerve endings
and delicate balances for striking that is the eye of humans. Along with this the face, jaw, and
head differs accordingly. Till now there is no threat from the robots or computers but getting
more accurate with less errors is very much need.

Healthcare Social Workers:
The main requirement of this profession is the ability of dealing with the emotional
intelligence and have a wide knowledge about the conditions, symptoms and the history of
the patient. Due to this fact the robots are unlikely to never replace this professional as it is
not able to grasp the emotional complexities (Mathiason et al. 2014). People should be
trained accordingly so as to understand the condition of the patient more efficiently and
provide solutions to them.
Speech Language Pathologists
The people associated with this profession are mainly associated with helping people
who are having problem in their speech. The problem may range from medical to
psychological reasons and beyond, which means that there are specific needs of each patient
(LaGrandeur and Hughes 2017). This is one thing which the robots are not capable of coping
up.
Conclusion:
Automation is very much trending in today’s world which threatens the jobs of
human. But certainly there are fields which are unlikely to be replaced by the humans or
computers.
