Press and media

AI technology, together with streamlining and merging operations, has caused the journalism and media industry to undergo a period of major changes in terms of personnel. Notably, AI can automatically create content, from writing articles to video production, replacing part of the work of journalists, editors and media staff.

Creative jobs, especially writing content for online platforms, could also be cut in the future as automated systems help complete the task more efficiently.

Therefore, press and media personnel are at very high risk of unemployment in the near future.

Customer service

Customer service is one of the industries that is being affected by technology. Some jobs such as call center agents, customer consultants or technical support are gradually being replaced by automated systems such as chatbots or virtual assistants.

These tools can process customer requests quickly and accurately without human intervention.

Production and manufacturing

With the development of automation and industrial robots gradually replacing workers in production lines, production and manufacturing personnel are under great pressure from a wave of layoffs.

Most manual jobs such as assembly, quality control or machine operation will be replaced by faster and more accurate automated systems in the future. This leads to high unemployment for workers without specialized skills.

Graphic design

There are currently many artificial intelligence software applications in the world that can design products in just a few minutes, or even less. For example, Dall.E and MidJourney have caused many graphic designers to lose their jobs because businesses only need to provide input to this AI tool and they can create basic graphic products and logos.

However, AI can only partially replace the artist's work. Because the works created must be original and based on the artist's own wishes and inspiration.

Accounting and Auditing

Jobs related to accounting, auditing and financial data processing also face replacement from automated software and artificial intelligence. These tools can perform data entry tasks, review financial statements and analyze data faster and more accurately than humans.

Lao Dong newspaper quoted Mr. Hoang Nam Tien - Vice Chairman of FPT University Council as saying that 85% of accountants may be at risk of losing their jobs in the future. Even accountants with more than 20 years of experience, working diligently, hard-working, and careful will also lose their jobs.

Choosing a career that is suitable for social trends is an important criterion that students need to consider in the current context.
