Answers.Text: Thanks. Your answer is valid since I didn't define the type of AI in my question. I didn't actually mean general AI, since it wouldn't necessarily need any help from humans as you said. I'm more after solutions that apply for an AI that is greater or equal to weak AI but less than general AI.

  In general, what possibilities are there for reinventing job descriptions that could be replaced by an automated AI solution?
  
  My initial ideas include:
  
  * Monitoring the AI and flagging its incorrect actions.
  * Possibly taking over the control in very challenging scenarios.
  * Creating/gathering more training/testing data to improve the accuracy of the AI.

  With AI technology at its current stage (or at least reasonably close to this stage), the jobs you proposed may very well be openings created by AI automation. However, sufficiently advanced AI technology--- the kind that can function as general purpose labor replacement--- will make even these jobs obsolete. This is because such an AI would be able to improve itself and as a result would surpass human level intelligence---meaning that it would take actions which we would not necessarily be able to understand or justify.
  
  This is all assuming that the intelligence of humans is not some kind of upper limit on the possibilities of intelligence in general. As far as I know there is no reason to think we represent such an upper limit.
  
  To summarize...will such jobs exist?
  
  Sub-human artificial intelligence: sure.
  Beyond-human artificial intelligence: no reason to think they would be necessary as the AI can do them itself.
