Jobs Most Likely to Be Replaced By AI: Indeed Study | Entrepreneur

"Indeed released a new studythat examined 2,900 job skills in the company's database and assessed how well AI could perform each skill. The report found that, on average, AI can perform nearly half of the skills (46%) required in a typical job posting. It suggests that all jobs will be impacted by AI, eventually, but technical and information-dependent roles will experience the effects first. Roles that require a physical presence will have a lower risk of automation - for now."

"AI could "profoundly reshape almost half the skills needed by a typical worker," wrote the study's authors, Indeed Hiring Lab Senior Economist Annina Hering, and Arcenis Rojas, a data scientist.

"The roles least likely to be replaced by AI were found to be the childcare, nursing, and construction fields. These jobs require physical execution, which suggests that until robotics advances, humans will continue to perform this kind of work. When Indeed initially ran a version of this study a year ago, there were zero skills listed as "very likely" to be replaced by AI. The new report finds that 19 skills could be fully taken over by the technology, including basic math and image classification."

Generative AI can perform about 46% of skills listed in a typical job posting, based on analysis of 2,900 job skills. AI will affect all jobs eventually, with technical and information-dependent roles seeing earlier impacts. Roles requiring physical presence, such as childcare, nursing, and construction, face lower automation risk until robotics advances. Nineteen skills are now considered fully automatable, including basic math and image classification. Software development, data and analytics, and accounting have high potential for change because AI can replicate associated problem-solving abilities. AI capabilities continue to improve, increasing potential to automate more skills over time.
