- Creative jobs requiring highly subjective and nuanced human judgment, like authors, artists, musicians, may be safer in the near future. AI can be creative, but capturing subtlety of human emotion/experience is still difficult.
- Jobs involving complex, fluid interpersonal interactions like therapists, social workers, or high-level managers dealing with people. AI still struggles with highly dynamic social/emotional intelligence.
- Jobs requiring dexterity in unstructured physical environments like construction workers, plumbers, electricians. Robotics still has limitations in flexibility and motor skills.
- Certain specialized medical jobs like surgeons that require precision, quick judgment and intricate physical movement and coordination.
However, few jobs are likely 99.9% automation proof long-term. AI is advancing rapidly across all fields. Certain activities within almost any job could potentially be automated to some degree eventually. But creative, social, dexterous and analytical human judgement may remain difficult to automate completely for the foreseeable future in many professions. The key is for people to augment their uniquely human strengths with AI tools rather than compete directly.
