In a world of technological advancement where innovation of new technologies has given rise to a number of awestruck facilities that has made the life of human beings easier on a different level. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the major inventions in the field of computer advancements and robotics that has influenced the lives of a huge number of people all over the world (Russell and Norvig 2016). The features and thought process that was not possible for the people to approach even 40 years back are making their advancement in the modern world with both organizations and common people getting benefit from the influence of such sectors. The advancement in social media sectors and the influence of the said on the lives of the people has changed the outlook of people towards the form of internet that has been on a dormant stage until the advent of the new millennial age from 2000. Artificial Intelligence is defined as the level of intelligence that is being demonstrated by machines and not by the natural intelligence of human mind (Cohen and Feigenbaum 2014). The advent of Artificial Intelligence has bought a Third Wave of Economic Development to the global market that has affected the employment and service market of the arena. This report aims to broadly discuss the trends of Artificial Intelligence and also discuss the impacts on the social level from the past 40 years on the society. The following paragraphs also highlight the impact on society for most of the people in the occupations of Doctor, Teacher and Taxi Drivers. The paragraphs also focus on the prediction of situation of the chosen occupations upto 2060.
One of the most progressing technologies that has taken the world by storm due to the innovative and new dimensions to the modern world is the innovation of Artificial Intelligence and its utilisation in a number of daily activities in different sectors including medical and automobile. Even for educational purposes, the use of Artificial Intelligence is getting popular with the improvement in educational arenas and competitive nature of examinations. Since the last 40 years, the influence of Artificial Intelligence is on a continuous rise as the scientists and technologists are on a continuous spree to improve the technological advancement all around the globe (Hamet and Tremblay 2017). The advancement of the technology started way back in the 1970s and is still on a developing spree. The impact on the emergence of Artificial Intelligence has impacted a number of occupations and has directly or indirectly impacted the society as a whole. With the advent of the concept of Artificial Intelligence, robotics has influenced a number of occupation and has affected them in both positive and negative way. With the emergence of artificial intelligence, a single robot has helped in a number of fields to aid the work of the human beings and in making efficient decisions has replaced a number of workers (Qureshi and Syed 2014). Due to the influence of robotics, surgery and super computers have taken the place of manual medicinal treatment and surgeries, even cars are being driven by robots which have replaced the cars and manual driving. In the field of education, the use of computers and computer derived technologies have altogether affected the scope and process of teaching. The changes and the overall effect of Artificial Intelligence has affected the society in a mixed way. The industrialists and the employers who have employed the technology of artificial intelligence have gained substantially from it, as they have to incur fewer costs for the salary and other benefits of the employees. Moreover, the costs incurred for the recreational activities of the employees and the price of their training and development is also being saved. The robot is doing all the work done by the employees without any errors and within the stipulated period (Criscuolo Gal and Menon 2014). While on the other hand, the employees and workers are facing a situation that is not favourable to them at any point. Due to the involvement of artificial intelligence, the workers are finding it hard to retain their jobs and are experiencing considerable lower salaries if they are opting for a job change as majority of the employers are opting for the time saving and intelligent mode of work that is the introduction of the robotics or artificial intelligence.

Considering the changes in the field of medicine in the last 40 years, a dynamic change can be observed which can be traced back to the introduction of a number of medicines and machineries that help in the identification and cure of diseases. In the year 1970, the medicine that helps to improve and cure any problems in the section of Immune system was introduced termed as the Immunosuppressive Drugs. This made a breakthrough in the field and made the concept clear that external medications can be useful in benefitting the internal immune system. Another invention that is still considered vital is the invention of CT Scan in the year 1971 while in the year 1973, the famous Laser Eye Treatment was introduced that gave a hope to the patients suffering from major eye sight problems (Jeong 2017). The profession of the doctors changed drastically in the last 40 years with the invent of Artificial Intelligence. Their work in determining and curing the diseases became easier as they did not had to predict the disease by the symptoms but had solid proof regarding the same.
In Australia, the people involved in the field of medicine increased from 18,769,200 in the year 2001 to 21,507,700 in the year 2011 (Refer to Image 1 in Appendix) which states that the number of people involved in this field has increased significantly from the beginning of 2000 to 2011. The above increase has been influenced the inclusion of a number of better medical facilities including the major Artificial Intelligence.
Future Situation of the occupation in 2060
Within 2060, the medical field will be taking a leap and the amount of medical expertise and diagnose skills will attain heights of accuracy. There will be three factors related to the field namely Robotics, Algorithm and Artificial Intelligence. The combination of Algorithm and AI will combine and make the diagnose process easier for the genre. The amount of accuracy that the machineries will have can even touch upto 100%. One of the pivotal examples in this case can be traced as the introduction of super computer, Watson by the IBM Group. With the introduction, the research in medical field has taken a positive turn and is able to diagnose a number of diseases that had been untraceable since the last 10 years. Even the treatment of Cancer has been positive with around 95% accuracy by the use of Watson. In the next 40 years, the medical process will reach heights and will gain massive development from its present state.
Doctors
Teachers
Education has always been on the top priority for the development of every country of the world and for the spread of good teaching process, the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence is necessary. With the introduction of computer studies in educational organizations, the use of AI started in the field of education. The use of AI in the field can be used in a number of ways – in the grading system, in teaching the students via the medium of computer and electronic gadget, making certain portions of studies adaptive according to student needs and to make experiments in the science laboratory an easy process. The inclusion of a better classroom environment and the two-way interaction in the teaching process in the fields of technological advancement is also contributed to the fields of AI.

Since the last 40 years, the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence has been on the rise in the educational fields. The teachers and education process had always been manual and was associated with the formal interaction, associated with lack of interest and motivation to study. The monotonous teaching process did not attract a huge number of candidates but the infusion of AI has surely brought a lot of changes in the positive side. The number of teachers has been constant with signs of increment over the last few decades resulting the number of students per teacher increase from 16.8 to 17.9 in Australia (Spiro, Bruce and Brewer 2017). However, the involvement of AI in the field of education has revolutionized the whole concept of teaching as the teachers have to apply less of their abilities in order to make their students understand the subject and can rely on the use of computers and other means for the same.
Future Situation of the occupation in 2060
In the next 40 years, the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence will be potentially huge as there is a huge scope of inclusion of robotics teachers and the use of different forms of AI as a educational guide. The inclusion of Siri by Apple is one of the prime examples that has marked the entry of AI in the general life of the people (Bellegarda 2014). Though Siri is not considered as a direct educational influence, it can surely guide the students in matters related to the knowledge and guidance one wants to gather. Even robotics teachers and e-books will make a more prominent mark on the overall educational field of the country within the next years. The human teachers in the sector will be able to deliver their pressures on the robots and they will be able to manage the teachings without giving ample pressure to the students and by understanding their needs and adapting to them.
