THE IMPACT OF AI ON EVERYDAY LIFE

In this digital era, almost anything is possible, including remote work, thanks to technological developments, such as the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI technologies have made life easier, with virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa handling daily activities and improving online shopping experiences by assessing customer preferences.
However, the rapid adoption of AI raises serious ethical concerns, particularly regarding job displacement. Millions of individuals, especially those in lower-skilled sectors, face the threat of job loss and economic hardship due to automation. Even highly skilled jobs, such as copywriting, are at risk of being automated. As AI tools improve, the demand for human copywriters may decrease. However, the role of a skilled prompter—someone who can effectively instruct AI—may become more valuable. This shift also creates opportunities for new roles, such as prompters who guide AI, as well as positions in cybersecurity, data analysis, and other fields.
Nonetheless, AI lacks several crucial qualities. AI does not possess empathy and cannot understand human emotions. Emotions are critical for successful sales, and because AI lacks these components, it cannot fully replace humans. However, AI is evolving rapidly, and who knows, maybe one day it could develop emotional capabilities and replace jobs that require emotional intelligence.
