Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the professional community about AI and which specialties/professions will cease to be in demand in the near future. This is because everyone who is interested in this topic knows how fast AI is developing, which is already writing code, articles, poetry, music, and making full-fledged music videos. And against this background, there are many articles about who will be replaced by IT, which will eventually become in demand.

If we proceed fr om the principle of reasonableness in this matter, then every developer in the field of AI should already find answers for himself, or at least already ask himself in terms of morality, ethics, legality, permissibility, copyright, sufficiency, redundancy and the limits of wh ere and how his technology is developing. Perhaps these are more questions than about AI, but they need to be asked now, when the culture of using AI is just being formed. Technological singularity should not be feared, it should be accepted as inevitable and tools for managing new technologies should be developed to ensure accountability.

Why limits are needed. No matter how smart the technology is, no matter how self-learning it is, but the boundaries and limits must be set by a person. Also, a person should be the one who has the opportunity to "press the red button" and the technology or branch of technology will delete itself if the development went in the wrong direction. Technology should be technology, and nothing more, controlled and controlled.

There is another side, when AI is overly humanised, and it is given features that are not typical of technology – humour, empathy, inspiration, a sense of beauty, but understanding that these are only algorithms and election statistics in "AI training" should remind you that this is just technology.

But you need to learn how to use any technology in order to use all current features to simplify workflows, simplify data collection, simplify interfaces, and increase data processing speed. After all, we all use smartphones now, not push-button phones, although there is a connection there, but modern smartphones provide other opportunities and simplify many routine life processes.
What can replace AI?
Routine repetitive operations, data collection and analysis, data processing and hypotheses, i.e. everything that is based on statistical data processing, analysis of results and selection of a particular action. But it is the human who determines the direction of the correct interpretation of this data, i.e. what choice the AI should make in this or that case.
What can't AI replace?
Human consciousness, consisting of an interweaving of knowledge, experience, intuition, fear, principles, morality, ethics, kindness and empathy; human communication and attitude; human fantasy; vision of beauty and desire for creation.

That is, to answer the important questions of humanity, Who is to blame? And what should I do? Only a human can always answer, because only he can interpret the data according to the current situation, without massive processing of incoming data with a huge number of unknowns and variables.

At the ROOT CODE company, we are actively implementing the AI first approach, but this does not mean minimising the efforts and importance of live employees. We skilfully coordinate the work of artificial intelligence and employees: designers, developers, and many others in order to increase work efficiency, increase sales, and relieve people from their daily routine.
