The Jobs I See Emerging in an AI-Driven World
許多加拿大人似乎尚未完全意識到，AI所帶來的並不只是挑戰，更是創造工作與重塑生活方式的巨大契機。
Many Canadians seem to have not yet fully realized that AI brings more than just challenges—it offers vast opportunities to create new jobs and reshape our ways of living.
很多人對AI心存恐懼，擔心它會使我們變得冷漠、失去人性。然而事實恰恰相反：AI並不會決定我們是怎樣的人，而是我們對自身定位與選擇，將深刻影響AI如何在生活中扮演角色。
There is still fear surrounding AI, with some worried that it will make us cold and inhuman. But in fact, the opposite is true: AI doesn’t define who we are. Rather, our own sense of identity and the choices we make will shape how AI functions in our lives.
如果人類對自己的生活主導權採取消極態度，任由AI發展而不參與、不設計，那才是我們真正「自毀」的開始。
If humanity chooses a passive role and gives up control over its own future, allowing AI to develop without guidance or design, that would be the true beginning of self-destruction.
AI社會的基本架構假設
A Basic Framework for an AI-Integrated Society
未來若在加拿大廣泛導入AI，勢必伴隨著社會結構的改革。其中最核心的一環，是保障每個人有尊嚴地活著。
If AI is to be widely adopted in Canada, it will inevitably require structural changes in society. At the heart of this transformation is the need to guarantee a life of dignity for everyone.
這樣的基本生存權保障，包括日常住屋與基本飲食。要實現這一點，首先需要一群數學家與統計學家，精算出一個人在不同年齡、性別、健康條件下的基礎住房與食物需求，進而制定通用的計算模型與公式。
This includes basic rights to housing and food. To achieve this, we would first need mathematicians and statisticians to accurately calculate the minimum living requirements for individuals based on age, gender, and health conditions. These formulas would be programmed into AI systems to calculate each person’s daily basic survival allowance.
這個公式將輸入AI系統中，用以自動化計算每個人每日應得的「生存基數貨幣」。這筆貨幣將每日存入個人專屬的「生存帳戶」，僅用於支付基本房租與食物開支，不得用於其他消費。
This allowance would be deposited daily into an individual’s basic survival account, which could only be used for housing and essential food—not for other types of consumption.
透過這種制度，全國將能更有效地預估每年所需的房屋與農作物生產規模，進一步穩定生活物資供應，並減少浪費。這不只是保障弱勢，而是保障每一個人都可以有「不勞而活」的最低生活條件——不再為生存恐慌。
With such a system, the government could more effectively predict the annual demand for housing and agricultural production, thereby stabilizing supply and reducing waste. This wouldn’t just protect the vulnerable, but ensure that everyone has a minimum standard of life without the fear of survival.
那你可能會問：如果所有人生存都被保障了，誰還願意工作？
You might ask: if survival is guaranteed, who would still want to work?
這正是重點所在。
And that’s the key point.
當人不必為生存而工作，真正的勞動，將回歸「追求自我實現」、「為了更好的生活方式」而努力。人們將工作，是因為想要：
When people are no longer forced to work to survive, work itself transforms—it becomes a pursuit of self-fulfillment and a better quality of life. People will work because they want to:
- 吃得更好、住得更美
- Eat better, live more comfortably
- 有更豐富的娛樂與旅行體驗
- Enjoy richer entertainment and travel experiences
- 擁有社會地位、榮譽與意義感
- Gain social recognition, honor, and a sense of purpose
AI發展後的新型工作型態
New Types of Jobs in the Age of AI
那麼，AI發展起來之後，工作會變成什麼樣子呢？我以下舉幾個可能的變化方向，作為觀察與思考的出發點：
So what kinds of jobs might emerge in an AI-driven world? Here are a few possible directions as food for thought:
1. 高效率服務工作者
1. High-Efficiency Service Workers
服務業工作者將與AI與機器人協作，提高服務效率。例如，餐廳員工不再需要負責點餐、結帳等重複性工作，這些將由AI自動處理，人類則專注於與顧客的互動與解決問題。
Service industry workers will collaborate with AI and machines to increase efficiency. For example, restaurant staff may no longer need to take orders or handle payments—those tasks will be automated. Human workers will focus on customer interaction and resolving issues.
➡ ️ 工作人數可減少但服務量提升，工作更專業，不再依賴小費維生。
➡ ️ Fewer workers will be needed, but they’ll serve more customers with higher quality, and won’t need to rely on tips for income.
2. 情緒與人際交流專業
2. Emotional and Human Interaction Specialists
AI雖然強大，但難以真正理解與模擬人類情感。未來將需要更多擅長情緒管理、同理心、陪伴與心理協助的專業人才，如：
AI is powerful, but it still cannot truly replicate human emotions. Professionals skilled in emotional support, empathy, and psychological assistance will be increasingly valued. New roles may include:
- 情緒導師
- Emotional Coaches
- AI使用引導員
- AI Use Guides
- 人際訓練師
- Interpersonal Skills Trainers
etc….
這些角色將幫助人們在人與AI的互動中找到平衡點，促進健康的人際關係與個人成長。
These roles will help people maintain healthy human connections and personal development in a world where AI is increasingly present.
3. AI倫理與治理專業
3. AI Ethics and Governance Professionals
AI社會需要被妥善管理與監督，未來將結合法律與政策背景的專業人士，發展出如下職業：
- AI倫理顧問
- AI Ethics Consultants
- 數據審查員
- Data Auditors
- 偏見防治工程師
- Bias Prevention Engineers
他們負責監控AI系統的決策過程，防止偏見與不公，確保AI技術遵守人類價值與社會原則。
They will monitor AI decision-making processes to ensure fairness and compliance with human values and societal norms.
4. 創意產業與人機共創人才
4. Creative Industries and Human-AI Co-Creation Roles
雖然AI可協助創作，但真正的靈感與敘事深度仍需人腦參與。未來創意工作者將成為AI的共同創作者，從事：
While AI can support creative processes, true inspiration and narrative depth still require the human mind. Future creative professionals will co-create with AI in areas such as:
- 音樂、藝術、小說等創作
- Music, art, and literature
- 遊戲設計與互動內容策劃
- Game design and interactive media
- 沉浸式敘事體驗設計
- Immersive storytelling and experience design
懂得如何整合AI能力與人類創意者，將是下一波熱門職業。
Those who can combine AI capabilities with human creativity will lead the next wave of innovation.
5. 智慧警務與即時判斷輔助
5. Smart Policing and Real-Time Decision Support
未來警察工作將結合AI與即時數據視覺化技術，獲得像「遊戲畫面」般的綜合資訊呈現，協助快速判斷與執行決策。提升處理效率與事件應變能力。
Law enforcement will integrate AI with real-time data visualization, offering a video-game-like interface for analyzing complex information and making quick decisions. This will enhance efficiency and improve response to emergencies.
6. 學習方式更多元、更個人化
6. More Diverse and Personalized Learning
AI將使學習資源更加個性化與即時化。學生可以快速找到合適導師，根據個人學習風格與目標制定計劃，學習也能更貼近實務應用，打破傳統教育模式的侷限。
AI will make learning more tailored and practical. Students will be able to quickly find suitable tutors and design learning paths based on their goals and learning styles. Education will move beyond traditional limitations, becoming more accessible and relevant.
