While AI may not replace humans entirely at work, a report suggests that 5 specific occupations may experience its impact more soon.

Indeed's new report states that while AI is already altering the work process for some individuals, it is not yet prepared to replace the work that humans perform entirely.

According to a report published on Sept. 25, 2,800 workplace skills identified by Indeed Hiring Lab are "very likely" to be replaced by generative AI.

While 68.7% of skills were deemed "very unlikely" or "unlikely" to be replaced by AI, 28.5% may be potentially replaceable. The report by Indeed examined soft skills such as communication, leadership, and organization, as well as technical skills like specific coding languages and hands-on skills like cooking and administering medication.

"According to Svenja Gudell, Indeed's chief economist, we evaluated whether gen AI could replace human beings in performing specific job functions by mapping over a million job postings from the past year and found that no skills were likely to be replaceable."

GPT-4o, OpenAI's latest multimodal generative AI model, was used to assess its own capabilities in three areas: providing theoretical knowledge about skills, applying those skills to solve problems, and executing those skills either physically or digitally.

The model evaluated the likelihood of generative AI replacing a person in performing a specific skill based on the assessment.

Although AI possesses impressive technical skills, it lacks the problem-solving ability and practical functionality to outperform human workers.

"Gudell states that gen AI, although highly advanced, is not yet capable of completely replacing humans as digital assistants."

The five jobs that have the greatest potential to be replaced by AI were identified by Indeed's researchers, who analyzed 16 occupations in their study.

1. Accounting professionals
2. Marketing and advertising specialists
3. Software developers
4. Health care administrative support staff
5. Insurance claims and inspection officers

Gudell states that AI excels in the technical and repetitive skills required for certain roles, as well as the reduced physical interaction these professions typically entail.

Health care work, such as nursing, that requires direct interaction with clients or customers, physical presence, or less routine problem-solving, is least likely to be replaceable, she notes.

Gudell advises workers not to avoid career paths that may be replaced by AI, but instead, they should learn to use AI tools to enhance their productivity and competitiveness in the job market, such as software development.

According to Gudell, the key to successful job searching is utilizing these tools to their full potential.
