Artificial Intelligence

Independent, UK - Artificial intelligence is projected to displace approximately 7 per cent of the US workforce by 2035, primarily affecting repetitive and process-oriented roles.  Experts suggest that jobs requiring hands-on physical tasks and human connection are most likely to be resistant to AI replacement.

Nursing is considered AI-proof due to its reliance on complex human emotions, ethical decision-making, and the inherent need for human care and judgment, which AI cannot replicate. Skilled trades, such as electricians and plumbers, are also highly resistant to AI, as they demand intricate physical dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and flexibility that robots currently lack.

Crisis management roles, which involve navigating unexpected events and require human judgment, are deemed AI-proof, although AI tools can assist with data analysis and summarisation.
