Businesses from every industry are leveraging AI to automate repetitive tasks that humans traditionally performed. Turning to AI-driven solutions is helping companies to cut costs and improve efficiencies. Despite the accelerated adoption of AI, it often yields flawed outputs with factual inaccuracies, biased information, and sometimes even security vulnerabilities, leading to significant rework. Interestingly, this flawed AI performance has created a niche opportunity for humans to correct these mistakes. This has not only created opportunities for skilled human resources, but in many cases, people are charging substantially higher than what they would have charged if they had handled the original work.
These days, AI adoption is spreading rapidly, with nearly all companies incorporating AI into their processes or replacing human workers with automated systems. In this frenzy, many businesses are hastily jumping onto the AI bandwagon without proper readiness or foresight. Most companies rely on AI for customer service, content creation, coding, and data analysis. AI-generated code has crashed many websites, necessitating that companies pay developers to repair them. A recent study highlights that AI can reduce human errors by up to 85%. Still, it can also introduce other errors, such as biases, a lack of nuance, context, and creativity, which would require human intervention.
The World Economic Forum states that 92 million jobs will disappear in 2025, but 170 million new roles will be created. Nowadays, humans have to find new ways of working in the digital world. The demand for these jobs is emerging across multiple industries and platforms, including freelance and remote work opportunities. Fiverr, Upwork, Outlier, and Appen are some sites that offer AI-generated content rewriting services.
According to the leadership of the Associated Press in the USA, it utilizes AI to write approximately 40,000 stories per year. Still, it relies on human editors for fact-checking and refining the content. Now, the human-in-the-loop has become a new essential requirement for companies. The combination of human skill and AI is transforming jobs in many fields and creating new opportunities for humans. New careers will include AI monitoring, ethics auditing, model debugging, AI compliance, workflow optimization, and model training supervision. Many agencies in the UK have reported that fixing AI bugs or security risks costs more and takes longer than hiring an initial human developer. Nowadays, the specialization that ensures a steady income stream is debugging AI-generated code. In other industries, such as finance and manufacturing, companies are combining AI chatbots with human agents to handle complex queries. As AI integration across industry verticals deepens, the scope for humans in AI correction looks promising. Many freelancers and graduates are already working in the field of AI correction as a side hustle, commanding rates of $100 per hour, as the work requires expertise and urgency. In sectors such as healthcare and finance, errors can be very costly; hence, human correction will remain essential. It is predicted that by 2030, AI will be able to handle up to 90% of proofreading and data entry tasks. This is increasing the demand for humans in verification. This emerging trend has opened opportunities for freelance pathways and also boosts productivity in high-skill sectors. The imperfections of AI have become a powerful catalyst for humans worldwide.
In conclusion, although AI is rapidly advancing, it will be challenging to eliminate the “human-in-the-loop” approach in the years to come. More than competing in the future work ecosystem, it is expected that humans and AI will collaborate. This emerging technology-driven trend is about embracing the synergy between Humans and AI. Investing in a hybrid work model is required to thrive in today’s AI-driven world.
