Which jobs are most vulnerable to AI?

I feel this article knows nothing about AI robots that can clean how a Janitor does. In any event adoption of tech can take time as hard as it might be to believe. It might not take 40 years for factories to adopt electricity when it comes to AI.

Any job where human-judgment is not required and there’s clear rules on the tasks required.

Management. Nobody read their presentations and documents, and they are already using ChatGPT to make them and do their “mission, vision, strategy” bullshit

Author here. The new contribution of the research[0] this article visualizes is a measure of the adaptability of workers across different occupations, should they be displaced by AI. > But there’s another dimension to the picture. Some workers will find it easier to adapt, the researchers argue, based on factors like their savings, age and transferrable skills. > Most web designers will be fine. Many secretaries will not. The most vulnerable occupations are largely held by women. [0]: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/measuring-us-workers-capa...

Answer: Any job where the majority (or all) of your work can be done strictly by using a computer, and for tasks that have easily verifiable and objective outcomes. And from an economic perspective, jobs that have the highest cost (i.e, highest margins for AI companies to replace) have a strong economic incentive to be automated first. So Software, Finance, Accounting, Law, etc. Yes - this means software engineers are likely the first to go, along with other high paying computer jobs.
