Jobs in the UAE: AI, automation, and ChatGPT are set to eliminate entry-level positions.

As businesses increasingly embrace automation and artificial intelligence (AI), millions of jobs are at risk around the world. Technology and recruitment experts in the UAE predict that almost all entry-level jobs will be taken over by the new-age technology.

Though it is true that AI and automation are transforming the job market in the UAE, as well as globally. With advancements in technology, many routine and repetitive tasks can now be automated, which may eliminate some entry-level positions. However, it is important to note that automation and AI will also create new job opportunities in areas such as AI development, programming, data analysis, and cybersecurity.

In the UAE, there is a growing focus on developing and adopting AI technology, and the government has set ambitious goals to become a global leader in AI by 2031. This means that there will be a significant demand for skilled AI professionals in the coming years.

ChatGPT, as an AI language model, is an example of how AI can be used to improve efficiency and productivity in industries such as customer service and content creation. While it is true that some entry-level positions may be impacted by the use of AI chatbots, there will also be new opportunities for individuals with skills in AI programming and natural language processing.

Analysts believe that the adoption of ChatGPT and other similar apps has accelerated the process of AI taking over certain roles. According to Goldman Sachs’ most recent report, AI could automate around 300 million full-time jobs worldwide. ChatGPT, for example, surpassed 1 million users in just five days, the fastest time any company has ever achieved this milestone.

According to a recent survey, more than half of UAE employees (55%) fear losing their jobs to AI and robots over the next decade. As a result, employees in the UAE, where companies are adopting AI at a breakneck pace, are forced to upskill and upgrade themselves to remain competitive in the job market. Automation for manual repetitive tasks such as data entry is already underway, and software is gradually taking over many tasks. AI will completely transform certain jobs in its generative form, taking over almost all entry-level jobs.

We live in a digital age where technology moves at breakneck speed, so it’s always worth making sure you know how to use new technologies so you’re not left in the dark!

In summary, while AI and automation may impact some entry-level positions in the UAE, they will also create new job opportunities in areas such as AI development, programming, data analysis, and cybersecurity. It is important for individuals to acquire new skills and adapt to the changing job market to stay relevant and competitive in the workforce.
