What job roles do you foresee being most at risk of replacement by AI soon?

by
After reading the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report, I learned that AI is both replacing and creating jobs. On one hand, AI is leading to job loss. The report mentions that 41% of employers plan to reduce their workforce because of AI automation. On the other hand, AI is also creating new opportunities. According to the same report, 70% of companies want to hire people to work on AI tools, and 62% are looking for workers who can collaborate with AI. This shows that while some jobs are being replaced, there is still a strong demand for new roles in the AI industry. I believe AI will probably create more jobs than it takes away, just like when computers first started appearing in the workforce.

I feel like we'll see the same pattren here if people focus on reskilling.

@kate_sleeman absolutely, have you had any real experience around this?

I think customer service, data entry, and certain writing/content creation roles could be at high risk. Even some coding and web dev tasks. The key is figuring out how to work alongside AI and leverage it to boost your productivity rather than having it replace you entirely. Definitely gonna be disruptive though!

@michaelanthonyroberts what you mentioned covers many areas. seems many alarming cases. what do you think about artists? Do they need to be cautious?

I think entry-level data entry, telemarketing, and even some customer support roles are most likely to be replaced by AI soon. That’s why I believe focusing on skilled trades is becoming more critical. Jobs like carpentry, which require hands-on expertise and problem-solving on-site, are much harder to automate. There’s a growing demand for these roles in certain regions—you can find more information here. It’s a good reminder that not all careers are equally vulnerable to automation.
