Will AI be able to automate everything?
In the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving to be superior to humans in many tasks, giving us the ability to outsource our intelligence to technology. With this latest trend, it seems like there’s nothing that can’t soon be automated, meaning that no job is safe from being offloaded to machines.
Throughout history, especially since the Industrial Revolution, people have aimed to outsource their labor to machines. This makes us wonder, with how far AI has already evolved, will everything soon be automated?
At J3Red, we believe that this view of AI’s role in the workplace is wrong. AI and humans do not share the same qualities and capabilities when it comes to intelligence. AI machines may be faster, more efficient, and consistently rational, but AI is not emotional, intuitive, or have the ability to be compassionate. AI also does not have an imagination like humans do, as AI can only recite and recall information.
Machine Intelligence vs. Human Intelligence
Humans have an authentic intelligence, which is best suited for jobs where you must deal with the external environment and influences from the outside. Humans can anticipate and deal with sudden changes and misinformation. At the same time, humans can use their creativity to come up with original ideas and have a “vision.”
On the other hand, AI works in that it imitates and simulates humans by taking in information and recalling it. AI is perfectly suited to work in lower-level routine tasks that require repetition. This would work almost seamlessly if the system had clear rules and no influence from outside sources.
There is no “i” in “team.”
We believe that these two forms of intelligence – human intelligence and artificial intelligence – should be used in harmony to complement each other. Working in tandem together will make for the most intelligent work.
At J3Red, Connor, Que, and Emma (plus AI) are working together to be more efficient as we use our creative, compassionate, intuitive, and proactive skills to help take your marketing projects to the next level.
