Die Welt, Germany: A Look at 21 More Jobs of the Future

Excerpts from Die Welt’s article:

"In its latest report, 21 More Jobs of the Future, Cognizant discusses the ultimate antidote to the commonly depicted dystopia of machines replacing human. While the future of an automated workforce can be frightening, the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution will create a huge wave of opportunity for businesses and individuals who are prepared.

Whilst it is expected that 20 percent of the more administrative portions of a job will be undertaken by a machine, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will bring about a digital boom in the global economy from a world of AI, automation, algorithms, bots and big data, mixing a futuristic vision with plausibility.

No matter how technological our age becomes, ultimately the human touch is critical, and the following key themes are apparent in the 2018 jobs:

  • Ethical behaviors: we want machines -- and humans-- to act well and behave themselves. Therefore, possible jobs include a chief purpose planner, an algorithm bias auditor, and a juvenile cyber crime rehabilitation counsellor
  • Security and safety: we want to feel safe in this brave (and scary) new world we are creating; this will call for jobs such as a cyber attack agent, a cyber calamity forecaster, and a virtual identity defender.
  • Dreams: a number of our new jobs stem from age-old science fiction visions that are set to become science fact in the next 10 years. These could include a smart home designer, a flying car developer or a vertical farm consultant."
