The resurgence of Artificial Intelligence in every sphere of life has a lot of people worrying whether AI will replace them at their jobs. It’s quite natural to worry about this, too, as we are seeing news of how CEOs are firing their human staff and making AI robots do their jobs. But how about we take a step back and think of all the human skills that AI cannot replace? So, on World Youth Skills Day, let’s take a look at 7 human skills AI will never be able to replace no matter how “smart” or advanced it gets.

1. Adaptability

The human brain is designed in such a way that allows us to adapt and change according to our environment. AI is not built for this as it is programmed with a uniform code which leaves it no room to adapt to its changing environment.

2. Empathy

Humans have an emotional index, and empathy is one of the main emotions that make us humans in the first place. To be able to place ourselves in someone else’s shoes is an ability that AI cannot possess because it is “artificial” and not ‘human”.

3. Communication skills

Most humans cannot hold proper communication how will a robot? To keep interesting conversations going and not just answer when asked a question is a skill AI shall never possess.

4. Decision-making

Humans are able to make decisions because of the communication between the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex of the brain. AI is fed with ready instructions on how to act in a certain situation, and if the situations change, it will not be able to make a decision.

5. Morality

Humans have morals even though some might have good and some might have bad ones. But AI cannot have moral standards because it works on functions. To have morality means AI needs to have an emotional spectrum which it never will.

6. Creativity

Humans possess an innate quality of creativity be it painting, writing, or photography. AI cannot be creative because it does not have the brain that will guide this aspect of theirs.

7. Prioritising and flexibility

If AI is assigned a task, it will get it done then and there. But it cannot prioritise tasks based on urgency and importance.

AI can get as powerful as it can get, but it surely cannot be better than us when it comes to possessing the above-mentioned qualities.
