Jobs most and least affected by AI

Job Resiliens Research · Sourced from the AI Job Risk Index · Methodology · About

Direct answer: Job Resiliens sorts 88 individually researched occupations into three exposure tiers — 15 high, 51 moderate, and 22 low — based on task-level research, not a survey average. High exposure means core tasks are substantially automatable today; it does not mean the job disappears overnight.

Examples from this tier (spotlight sample — the full set of 22 is on the Index and the resilient-careers hub):

The middle: unbundling (51 occupations)

The role unbundles — automating execution while judgment, relationships, and complex cases stay human. Most professional knowledge work sits here — including many software, product, finance, and teaching roles. Browse the full Index or start from AI Risk by Role.

What this means for you

A tier tells you how the role as researched is shifting. Two people with the same title can land in different personal exposure bands depending on whether their week is mostly automatable execution or judgment, trust, and physical presence. That is why Job Resiliens’ primary next step is a resume-based score — not another title quiz.

FAQ — jobs most & least affected by AI

Which jobs are most affected by AI in 2026?

15 of 88 Index occupations are high exposure (transcriptionist, translator, data entry, bookkeeper, admin assistant, copywriter, proofreader/editor, graphic designer, warehouse worker, IT support, data analyst, customer service, paralegal, QA tester, technical writer). High exposure = core tasks substantially automatable today — not an overnight title wipeout.

Which jobs are least affected by AI?

22 occupations sit in the low-exposure tier — typically hands-on, licensed, or high-trust work (e.g. physician, nurse, electrician, plumber, mechanic, chef, lawyer, dentist, civil engineer, social worker). Not an “AI-proof” promise; your personal task mix still matters.

Will AI replace my job title completely?

Usually no. AI changes tasks first. Most roles unbundle: routine execution compresses while judgment, accountability, trust, and physical presence stay human. See Will AI replace my job?
