The Impact of AI on the Labor Market and Potential Professions in the Cryptocurrency World
Vivek Ramaswamy warns about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workforce. According to him, as AI continues to revolutionize industries, white-collar positions are increasingly at risk of being replaced. Instead, manual labor professions, typically called blue-collar jobs, may become the new center of this transformation.
The entrepreneur and politician notes that despite AI's strong development, "ChatGPT cannot replace construction workers or our roofers in the near future." He predicts that in the coming decade, many young people will choose welding, electrical work, or machine operation to ensure job security in an automated world.
Recruitment Trends in the Digital Era: AI and Cryptocurrency Driving Manual Labor Professions
According to Forbes, nine out of ten employers plan to apply new AI and artificial intelligence solutions within the next five years. 73% of businesses are targeting recruitment of personnel with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology skills. AI becomes the top priority in corporate strategy for 2025 and beyond.
A survey of over 5,000 professionals in the United States shows that 52% are concerned about AI's impact on their jobs. Meanwhile, Meta has cut approximately 5% of its global workforce, equivalent to 3,600 people, to optimize operational processes.
Not just Meta, many other major employers have reduced thousands of workers, emphasizing digital transformation strategies based on AI. This confirms Ramaswamy's argument that the workforce is experiencing the second AI industrial revolution.
Professions Easily Replaced by AI and Blockchain
The first roles easily replaced are automated jobs performed by software or robots. These tasks are often repetitive or require high precision, such as machine operation in manufacturing, testing, packaging, warehouse management, customer service, and fraud detection in e-commerce.
The transportation and logistics sector is also not immune to change. Autonomous vehicles like Waymo are already beginning to replace human drivers. Jobs such as data entry, analysis, financial forecasting, tour guiding, translation, and basic accounting are all within AI's scope.
Additionally, roles like proofreading, legal assistants, and graphic design are also at risk of diminishing demand or becoming obsolete.
Potential Professions in the AI Era
However, some professions will survive and develop sustainably in an automated world. Deep learning engineers, software programmers, data scientists, cybersecurity experts, and AI managers will always be necessary. These roles require creativity, problem-solving abilities, and specialized knowledge to design, train, and maintain AI systems.
Moreover, professions like nurses, choreographers, emergency workers, mental health specialists, lecturers, civil engineers, surgeons, project managers, and artists will continue to stand firm. These require intuition, emotions, and human decision-making – factors that cannot be replaced by AI.
In a comment by Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov, he shares: "Yes, many jobs will disappear. But history has proven that new industries will emerge. What's important is the value created. Living like a king without working like a slave is the process of progress. We always have space to create and contribute to society."
