Artificial Intelligence will take over these jobs in 15 years because wherever there’s money; companies will try to use automation to get a slight edge on their competitors.

The environment is changing and that should factor in how you make decisions for the future especially if you work in any of these jobs.  These jobs will simply disappear due to AI.  Welcome to the future.

Stock Traders

A study done by Bloomberg in 2015 showed that 90% of actual trades done on a daily bases where robots (bots) not humans.  Unless you’re a long term investor, trying to time and beat the market on a daily basis seem impossible.  Let’s say you’re about to purchase a stock through your platform.  You fill in the orders and hit “buy”.  In the time it takes the signal to reach the trading servers to get approved, bots have already realized you’re about to purchase that stock. They (bots) will buy and trade it within themselves and sell it to you at a higher price.

Cashiers

The United States alone has over 8 million people working as cashiers.  You’ve seen the self-checkout stations in major department stores with someone monitoring.  The technology in the future is where you’ll have fewer employees involved.  You’ll walk into the store, grab what you need and walk out with everything being automatically deducted from your credit card through sensors.  Amazon is already putting this to a test.

Drivers

With countries like Germany backing self-driving trucks, it’s not long before other countries and government adapt to this trend.  Unlike humans, automated trucks won’t need rest stops or food.  Anyone making a living as driver will soon be out of a job because of autonomous vehicles whether it’s trucks, bus, taxi, delivery, uber and so on; less drivers will be needed.

Fast Food Workers

Unskilled workers are usually the first to be banished when increase in minimum wage happens.

Military Pilots

The military has a history of being one of the first movers to embrace tech.  Drones can hit targets more accurately and consistently than any human without putting the life of the pilot in danger.

Farmers

On the macro level, farming is becoming less prevalent as time pass.  It’s a job you’ll still see in underdeveloped parts of the world.  Advanced tech is making farming less labor intensive.  Humans used to be needed for various chores like harvesting and weeding.  These are already being taken over by drones and automated machines.  The majority assignment of a farmer in the near future will be to monitor the self-driving tractors.

Construction Workers

As tech progresses, the construction jobs will also be taken over by AI.  Unless you’re one of those specialized to work with the automation process.

Travel Agents

Unless you’re 50 years old or more, chances are slim that you went to a traveling agent to book your last flight.  With lots of online sites able to booking easy, there’s no need for a third party.

Telemarketers

With more people spending large portions of their time on their smart phones and devices, companies will shift towards using more targeted ads on social media to market their goods and services.  Companies like Facebook gather data from your interactions and sell it to companies which will show you ads based on your interests.
