""Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable," Huang said at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in 2025."
"The jobs most exposed are ones that involve knowledge work-like people doing computer, math, or administrative work in an office."
"Translators, historians, and writers are among the roles with the highest AI applicability score, meaning the job's tasks are most closely aligned with AI's current abilities."
"Sales jobs are also high on the list, since they often involve sharing and explaining information."
Companies like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are reducing their workforce due to AI investments. A Microsoft report identifies roles such as translators, historians, and writers as having high applicability to AI. Customer service and sales jobs, which comprise about 5 million positions in the U.S., are also at risk. Knowledge work roles are particularly exposed, while some jobs, like dredge operators, are unlikely to be affected. Business leaders emphasize that all jobs will be impacted by AI in some capacity.
