AN artificial intelligence expert has told The U.S. Sun three ways you can avoid losing your job to AI.
Simon Bain is an AI expert and CEO of OmniIndex who says being truly human, for better or worse, could save your career.

He told The U.S. Sun: “Be human! AI tools are not people, and there are many jobs where the human touch and personality are desired.
“This is not just the case in healthcare and other ‘people-centric’ industries but also in content creation, one of the first industries identified as under threat.
“This is because audiences are increasingly seeking ‘opinion’ pieces and personal commentary as opposed to straight objectivity.”
Being human even includes making the most of some characteristics that can be deemed controversial at work.
In this case, Bain says blindly arguing your case can be useful.
He told us: “For better or worse, having a passionate opinion about something and blindly arguing about it is something humans do uniquely well!”
Secondly, the expert says learning about AI and how to use AI tools could help you risk losing your job to a bot.
You may even find this useful in the long run as it could free up time to focus on other tasks.

Bain told us: “It is important for people across industries to learn how to use AI as a tool to help them improve their jobs.
“For example, using it to do mundane tasks quicker to boost productivity or quickly process large quantities of data for analytics.”
Last but not least, the AI expert recommends being original.
This is something that current chatbots struggle to do.
He told us: “A huge negative of AI tools like ChatGPT is their lack of originality.
“This is because they generate outputs based on the information they have collected.”
Using AI tools can run the risk of producing identical and unoriginal ideas, which is particularly negative if you’re working in a creative industry.
Bain added: “As such, people need to have that ‘creative originality’ to create something beyond the regurgitated content others are using to stand out and add value.”
