Week 15- Artificial Intelligence Impact on Business Jobs

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked about subjects in the job field today. Automation will happen in many fields, but the impact that it will have on jobs is still being determined. In the business field, automation is critical as the more money a company can save, the better for the company’s bottom line.

In his article titled Artificial Intelligence Impact on Business Jobs, Professor of Information Technology and Services Todd Kelsey discusses the future outlook of jobs in the business field when it comes to artificial intelligence and automation. In Kelsey’s opinion, the automation is not an “if” question, but rather a “when” it will happen. His suggestion to all readers and business job seekers alike is to get more informed about AI and its effect on your job field.


The four main career areas that Kelsey observes are: Accounting/Finance, Business Analytics/Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Human Resources/Management. Of these careers, Kelsey believes that the one with the best outlook is Business Analytics/Marketing and the worst outlook is Accounting/Financing. Kelsey also preaches the continued push of entrepreneurship to the younger career seekers so more jobs can be created in the future.

AI and automation are on their way and they are going to have a lasting effect on the job market. This is shown in the business field, where the future job market is largely affected by these new technologies. For more information on the effect of these new technologies, read Kelsey’s article or check out the BBC Job Automation Calculator (suggested multiple times in the Kelsey article). Study up and get prepared for the future of the job market.
