Say you knew for certain that AI was 20 years away. This would be a self aware program that was fully self aware and conscious. In combinations with robots, it could do a wide variety of jobs.
What would you advise a 16-18 year old just starting in the job market?

If AI, artificial intelligence, is 20 years away, what career to pick?

Mechanical engineering. Which I wish I had took instead of robotics engineering.
Also soldier, we'll need them to kill of the AI.Last edited by mmoccd6b5b3be4; 2015-09-02 at 05:59 PM.

My guess would be something in social work, robots can't properly hug babies

Robotics will probably still suck. If you wanted to be safe, go with something that requires physical dexterity in an unstructured enviromenrt.

Robo-fluffer. Sure, there's not much demand for it now, but just you wait!

Seems to me a true AI can do both those jobs way better than any human. Originally Posted by Connal

Politics. Robots can do anything a human does. But you'll never have people voting for robots.
I guess a cop/bodyguard would be good too, because I doubt people would feel secure with Robocops walking the street.

How can a human possibly compete with an AI when it comes to CS/EE? Can you give me the area under a curve instantly, without even thinking about it? Originally Posted by Kuntantee

He didn't say they could compete, I'm assuming CS/EE will be required skills to kill off the evil AI's! Originally Posted by Hubcap

I wonder if it's as funny when it's a giant metal claw coming at you like you're a toy in an arcade machine. Yeah, it bumps the sides a few times before it manages to grab you. Originally Posted by Lemposs

Machines will never become self-aware or conscious, as consciousness is not a result of material combination. Either way, farming is a good choice. Whatever shit they'll be feeding the population in 20 years will be neither tasty nor nutritious, there will be no milk, rice, wheat, or sugar available and meat will be incredibly expensive as it becomes a luxury for the rich alone. Any degree of self-sustainability is going to be advantageous, both now and in the future.
Happy new year to all, and to all a good night!

You have a lot less faith in science than I do. I bet development on AI if graphed comes out on a logarithmic shape. Originally Posted by Connal

What about creativity fields? I can't imagine robots being good at writing books unless they somehow can learn to simulate emotion and what not as well as humans.

I'm confused why anyone would want to go into a science/tech job if you're actually looking for work and not just something to satisfy your curiosity.
