For most entry level IT roles it will typically consist of being the first line of support by assisting customers directly. Whether its through phone or in person but with AI many companies are using chatbots to assist with the basic IT issues. If the customer is still having the same issue after the chatbot goes through it’s loop of predefined answer it will then transfer the custom to a live IT support agent.
Everyday AI is expanding to handle more complex issues soon enough the risk of it taking the job of enrty level IT job is become more realistic. For most employer's they will try to cut cost wherever possible so if AI can do the same things we can do it would be the companies first thought whether or not to cut that department. Since having employees means not only paying for salary’s but also health, 401k and other expenses. Whereas AI is only needing payment for the software and Admins to manage the software. With that in mind it will be vey likely AI will take over human jobs across multiple industry’s.
Even Robots Have Limits
While AI may be cheaper to have as an employee compared to a human it can only do so much. AI is not capable of feeling human emotion’s the most it can do is attempt to match our language results to it’s database to see what it matches with in an attempt to identify an emotion.
For all IT jobs and customer care AI could easily handle the more basic time filler tasks that don’t require any emotion being expressed. But for any other responsibility’s having AI interact with customers or coworkers can come across as inappropriate or become frustrating not having the ability to speak to a live person to emphasize with them. Or able to collaborate in a team environment were human emotions need to be taken into account.
