With the onset of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, many companies began to reorient their strategic compass, and began to expand the integration of machines and algorithms as key elements in the production and service delivery process;

In fact, I see her absolutely right in that. What do you think of an employee who does not tire or tire, does not sleep or get sick, does not miss or needs vacations or breaks, and is not occupied by side conversations here and there, and does not antagonize this and flatter that, and his performance levels do not fluctuate, He does not lack behavior or skills, and works around the clock, not caring about wages, pressure, or even working conditions?

Of course, such an employee represents an imminent danger to the global job market, and may be a forerunner of unemployment and unemployment;

Proof of this came through the report on the future of jobs issued by the World Economic Forum in 2020, where it indicated that the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence and related technologies will contribute greatly to changing the economic role of humans, and will push them to share their jobs equally with machines with solutions year 2025.

It is noteworthy that the same report stated that automation will lead to the demise of 85 million existing jobs, but at the same time it will create 97 million new jobs that will enter the market.

It is an issue that prompted me to study it a little to find that the actual change will not be in the number of new jobs or those canceled, but rather in the quality of those jobs and the nature of the skills they require, and as a result, I concluded that only those with the required future skills will get the best conditions and the highest rewards.

I wonder here what our children need to secure their livelihood in the future, and the answer is simple and intuitive, yes they need to make every effort in order to prepare and prepare, and to assume more responsibility for their professional development, by completing the school stages, and then working on acquiring new skills, developing, refining and improving what they possess;

They must also be flexible and plan well, and realize that principles such as continuous training and lifelong learning must be a natural part of their life path, and they are the only way to develop their cognitive abilities in the areas of innovation, analysis, critical thinking and problem solving.

It is no secret to anyone that the best investment that our children make in it is their investment in digital skills, because the majority of tomorrow’s employees are artificial intelligence specialists, software developers, data analysts, cybersecurity engineers and other digital specialists;

Also, their academic choices should be in the fields that are still in the hands of man and are not expected to lose them soon, such as medicine and health care, environmental sciences and agriculture, engineering, energy and space.

There is no doubt that man will remain the most important player no matter how circumstances change and circumstances change, and this is what the wise leadership has been keen on through its future outlook, which has moved to tomorrow and toured all its pillars to bring us all solutions and answers;

The people of the Emirates are in a continuous process of rehabilitation and preparation, and they are studying at the best universities inside and outside the country, and their experiences have been enhanced with all the necessary ingenuity and skills, and also in proportion to the jobs and challenges of the future.

And their path of excellence and empowerment has actually been translated through the comprehensive renaissance that the country is witnessing in various arenas and fields, a renaissance that demonstrated that Emirati creativity was, is, and will always remain a valid key to all doors of the future.

The increasing reliance on artificial intelligence will contribute to changing the economic role of humans.
