The labor market could undergo significant transformations in the next decade. Certain professions, such as cashier, translator or call-center operator, are in danger of disappearing. These tasks could be taken over by artificial intelligence, in a more efficient and economical way.

This warning comes from HR specialists, who are already advising those affected to improve their digital skills.

Digital marketer, programmer, hardware engineer, farmer and driver are five professions expected to remain relevant over the next ten years, according to a survey of the largest employers. In contrast, certain current occupations may disappear due to technological progress, he writes tvrinfo.ro.

Cashier jobs, for example where (…) we see digital kiosks in supermarkets where we can make the payment ourselves,” said Dragoș Gheban, the manager of a online recruitment platforms.
