Jobs AI is likely to transform (not eliminate):

• Office & Knowledge Work: Admin assistants, paralegals, data entry, customer service—all will see parts of their work automated. But humans will still be needed for oversight, decision-making, and emotional intelligence.
• Creative Fields: Designers, writers, marketers—AI can assist, but humans are still key to strategy, originality, and brand voice.
• Healthcare: AI can analyze scans or assist in diagnosis, but doctors, nurses, and caregivers are still vital.

Jobs at higher risk of being automated:

• Repetitive manual labor: Like warehouse sorting, manufacturing line jobs, or some driving jobs (e.g., truck driving, eventually).

Simple clerical tasks: Like data entry or basic bookkeeping
