If you’re here because you searched for a list of jobs AI won’t replace, you might be feeling a little anxious about your own. So we’ll dive right into the good news.
“I believe very few jobs will be replaced by AI,” says Robert Seamans, PhD, professor of management and organizations at NYU Stern School of Business, and co-author of several papers on the topic.
Plus, while most jobs will shift, change won’t happen overnight. “Introducing AI into an enterprise setting takes longer and is more expensive than most businesses anticipate,” Seamans says. “Integration of new technologies into existing businesses always takes longer than expected.”
This means creatives still have plenty of time to familiarize themselves with new technology to keep pace with its application to their work.
“All workers should be experimenting with AI tools,” Seamans says. “Play around with them. See what they do well and don’t do well. See how they can help you with your job.” This will keep your skills sharp, he says. (You can start with these Wix Studio AI tools.)
Despite the changes on the horizon, there are certain occupations that are poised to have the largest expansion and growth over the next decade, creative ones included.
10 jobs AI likely won’t replace in the next decade
These creative and digital-focused occupations pose opportunities for expansion, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Take a look, then either sigh in relief or sharpen your skills to be more competitive.
01. Art directors
As print mediums continue to falter, art directors are forecast to increasingly shift into mobile and digital forums for five-percent growth over the next decade.
02. Software developers
Software developers are anticipated to see a 17 percent uptick in jobs due to “artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, robotics and other automation applications,” per the BLS.
03. Data scientists
More is more, at least in the case of data scientists. As more data becomes available, the demand for data scientists to analyze and review data will also increase. Notably, this occupation is forecasted to increase by 36 percent by 2033.
04. Web developers and digital designers
As eCommerce continues to expand, these occupations are predicted to grow eight percent by 2033. More good news: you can use the latest in AI web design, including related AI web design tools, to work efficiently.
05. Marketing managers
Even in the face of AI, marketing isn’t going anywhere. This occupation is predicted to rise by eight percent. However, the BLS notes that the automation of digital ad placement can thwart demand for specific ad managers, a related field. (When in doubt, consider starting a digital marketing side hustle before going all in.)
06. Special effects artists and animators
These roles should see four percent job growth in the next decade, thanks to increased interest in gaming and gaming-related graphics.
07. Architects
Architect jobs are predicted to grow by eight percent due to ongoing sustainability construction, planning and design needs for a range of buildings and structures.
08. Dancers and choreographers
Choreographers will have some of the most substantial occupational growth—and lowest risk of automation—between 2021 and 2031. These roles are forecast to enjoy almost 30 percent growth by 2031, according to the U.S. Career Institute.
09. IT security analysts
Cyberattacks continue to swell, meaning that more specialists are required to thwart hackers. Businesses and corporations will need to strengthen their security measures to rebuff these ongoing attacks, causing a forecasted 33 percent rise in occupation expansion.
10. Videographers
It's true the job of a videographer will change as more AI tools come to market, but our insatiable appetite for video content still means video-related jobs will increase at an average pace.
So, what jobs are at risk to be replaced by AI?
Still, the hard truth is that “some jobs will become obsolete,” says Seamans. “In general, these types of jobs are ones that involve easily repeatable but non-physical tasks. For example, a job like a telemarketer, which involves responding in a fairly routine manner to verbal prompts from a potential customer, is one that is at a fairly high risk of replacement,” he says. AI tools are also increasingly adept at more black-and-white disciplines, like copyediting.
Even so, more research is necessary to discern how and why any given role will be exposed to AI. “The big unknowns are the conditions under which generative AI will substitute for work previously done by humans, or complement work done by humans,” Seamans said in a recent report.
