With the development of artificial intelligence, an interesting trajectory of demand in the future labor market is being drawn. According to general predictions, many white-collar workers will join the ranks of the unemployed, while despised blue-collar workers and representatives of undervalued professions, such as nurses and teachers, will return to favor.
In a very simplified way, we can say that in the era of artificial intelligence, those professions that have a high "humanistic coefficient" will win. Of course, no such coefficient exists and probably nothing like that can be calculated at all, but as a theoretical concept, it symbolizes those areas of human work that cannot be automated at a given stage of technological development.
Following this line of thought, I ask myself: could a similar mechanism work for science? Will mathematics and sciences become the almost exclusive domain of artificial intelligence in the future, removing human skills to the side, while the humanities, by definition requiring human insight, return to the pedestal after years of marginalization?
Honestly, I find it hard to imagine more mathematical breakthroughs happening without human intervention. But I find it even harder to imagine sciences like psychology, sociology, or even literary studies doing without reflection based on unique human experience.
