Tarot Predicts: Will AI Take Over Human Jobs?

With office work quickly changing shape, the future of human jobs is starting to look bleak. Now that thousands of AI tools have entered the market and are being used by mainstream corporations, it is safe to say that we are in a future where people incorporate artificial intelligence into their daily lives.

Well, in every other sci-fi film, this development in AI bots is bad news. According to Hollywood lore, these bots almost always end up taking over the world and somehow want to end it. Although living in a mechanical apocalyptic world will surely be a dream come true, I am not sure about AI¡¯s potential to become a sentient being and take over Earth.

However, I have my doubts about these AI tools taking over human jobs. The process already seems to have kicked off, as people are opting for AI over paying for services like content writing, graphic design, and even business management. So, to clear the air and maybe get an inkling of an idea about what is the future of AI within the human working space, I picked up my trusty Tarot deck.

Will AI Take Over Human Jobs?

In the next decade or so, it looks like AI will definitely have a solid presence in the human working space. While I am not so sure about robot caterers and AI bosses, there does seem to be a presence of artificial intelligence at work.

The Nine of Wands signifies humans having a hard time keeping up. They seem to be burning their fuel trying to measure up or fill their own shoes. However, with the Knight of Swords, there is a ray of hope. From the looks of it, jobs that have anything to do with higher studies might be in the clear, as swords in the tarot signify intellect and education.

With temperance in reverse, there seems to be an imbalance caused by AI in the field. But the card is followed by the Three of Pentacles, which is all about working together. This tells me that it is likely that a blended mode of work is at play where humans, similar to how things are now, use AI tools with their regular workings.

The last card is the Seven of Wands reversed, which does paint a desolate picture of the future. The card tells me that humans are failing to keep up a boundary between themselves and artificial intelligence. This might be because of the human condition of thinking about the worst possible scenario, which is limiting them from using AI to its fullest potential.

Well, if you ask me, it¡¯s best to keep an eye on AI bots for a while.
