AI will likely eliminate these three jobs within two decades

It’s everywhere, right? From writing emails to summarizing meetings, it feels like AI is doing more and more these days. But could it actually take your job?

Some experts think so. Big names like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey have put out reports saying millions of jobs could be automated by AI. That’s a scary thought.

A recent survey by Pew Research asked both regular folks and AI experts which jobs are most at risk. The results? Pretty interesting.

The Risky Three

Both the public and the AI gurus agreed on a few key jobs that could be gone in the next 20 years. Think about it…

• Cashiers: Self-checkout is already here. Makes sense, right?
• Journalists: AI can write articles. But can it tell a story?
• Factory Workers: Automation has been happening for years. AI just kicks it up a notch.

I mean, I recently asked ChatGPT to write a blog post. It wasn’t terrible! But it definitely lacked… something.

Who’s Safe (For Now)?

The good news? Some jobs seem pretty safe from the AI takeover. At least for the next couple of decades. These include:

• Mental Health Therapists
• Lawyers
• Musicians
• Teachers
• Medical Doctors

Why? Because these jobs require human connection, creativity, and critical thinking. Things AI can’t quite replicate. Yet.

Are We Doomed? Not So Fast.

Here’s the thing: experts are actually more optimistic about AI than the general public. Most experts think AI will have a positive impact on jobs. The public? Not so much. More than half are worried about job loss.

It’s all about perspective. Will AI change the job market? Absolutely. But will it eliminate all jobs? Probably not. It’s more likely that AI will change how we work. Think of it as a tool, not a replacement.

What do you think? Is your job safe? Or is AI coming for it?
