AI 與就業：威脅還是機會？AI and Jobs: Threat or Opportunity?

 AI 與就業：威脅還是機會？

在聊過 AI 醫療、教育與日常生活之後，今天我們來談一個和每個人都息息相關的問題：AI 對工作意味著什麼？

不可否認，AI 和自動化正在改變職場。數據輸入、線上客服對話，甚至部分法律與財務分析工作，都已經由演算法或機器完成。難免會讓人有點不安——誰都不希望有一天醒來，發現自己的工作被機器取代。

不過，另一面卻是：AI 雖然會取代一些工作，但也會創造新的職位。想想 15 年前還不存在的職業——App 開發者、無人機操控員、社群媒體經理。AI 的時代也會催生全新的角色，例如 AI 訓練師、數據倫理專家、機器人維護工程師。

更重要的是，AI 可以成為我們的工作夥伴。它幫我們處理重複、瑣碎的任務，讓人有更多時間專注於創意、解決問題，以及與人互動——這些都是機器無法真正取代的價值。

當然，轉變的過程不會完全輕鬆。有些產業會更快感受到衝擊，學習新技能（reskilling）將變得非常重要。但回顧歷史，每一次科技革命——從蒸汽機到網際網路——雖然短期內帶來挑戰，長遠來看卻創造了更多機會。

所以，AI 到底是威脅還是機會？或許兩者都是，端看我們如何去適應、學習，並善用它。可以確定的是，未來的職場不會是「人類對抗機器」，而會是「人類加上機器」。

你覺得呢？你會更擔心 AI 奪走工作，還是更期待它帶來的新機會？

溫暖的問候，

AI and Jobs: Threat or Opportunity?

After talking about AI in hospitals, schools, and daily life, it’s time to address a question that touches everyone: What will AI mean for our jobs?

It’s no secret that AI and automation are changing the workplace. Machines and algorithms are already handling tasks like data entry, customer service chats, and even parts of legal and financial analysis. It’s natural to feel a little nervous—after all, nobody wants to wake up one day and find their job replaced by a robot.

But here’s the other side of the story: while AI may take away some jobs, it also creates new ones. Think about careers that didn’t exist 15 years ago—app developers, drone operators, social media managers. AI will open doors to new roles too, from AI trainers and data ethicists to robot maintenance specialists.

More importantly, AI can become a partner at work. Instead of spending hours on repetitive tasks, we’ll have more time for creative thinking, problem-solving, and human connection—the parts of work that machines can’t truly replicate.

Of course, this transition won’t be easy for everyone. Some industries will feel the impact more quickly, and reskilling will be essential. But history shows us that every technological revolution—from the steam engine to the internet—has created more opportunities in the long run, even if the short-term changes were challenging.

So, is AI a threat or an opportunity? Maybe it’s both. It depends on how we adapt, learn, and use it to our advantage. One thing is certain: the future of work will not be about humans versus machines, but about humans with machines.

What do you think? Are you more worried about AI replacing jobs, or excited about the new opportunities it may bring?

Warmly,
