While more hands-on roles have lower AI exposure today, the report finds that jobs requiring college degrees are no longer safe

And even teaching jobs, which have been pegged as more secure than office jobs, are at high risk

As companies Amazon publicly announced AI-driven workforce reductions, workers are scrambling to understand which careers might soon disappear and be outsourced to nology

A new report from Microsoft reers studying the occupational implications of generative AI, offers some clarity

Translators, historians, and writers are among the roles with the highest AI applicability score, meaning the job’s tasks are most closely aligned with AI’s current abilities, according to the report released this month that ranked fessions

Overall, the jobs most ly to be replaced by AI are ones that are ones that involve knowledge work— people doing computer, math, or administrative work in an office, the reers wrote

Sales jobs are also on the list, since they often involve sharing and explaining information

Of course, there are some jobs that are safe from AI’s claw: Dredge operators; bridge and lock tenders; and water treatment plant and system operators are among the jobs with virtually no generative AI exposure, thanks in part to their hands-on equipment requirements

Still, leaders Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang have said that every job will be touched by AI in some way, and so it’s best to embrace it. “Every job will be affected, and immediately

It is unquestionable,” Huang said at the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in May. “You’re not going to lose your job to an AI, but you’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.” A degree won’t you from AI’s jobs revolution Many of the jobs with high chances of getting up by AI soon, political scientists, journalists, and management analysts, are all ones that typically require a four-year degree to land a job

On the flip side, there are some career paths with low AI exposure, that are growing in demand

The healthcare sector, in particular, is an area that is experiencing this heavily

The health and personal care aid industry is expected to create the greatest number of new jobs over the next decade, according to the U.S

At the same time, the reers recognized that even their findings don’t capture the full scope of the AI revolution—and there could be further automation caused by more than just generative nology: “Our measurement is purely LLMs: other applications of AI could certainly affect occupations involving operating and monitoring machinery, such as truck driving.” Fortune reached out to Microsoft for

Gen Z’s big bet on education might not be all glam After seeing the rollercoaster of layoffs across the industry over the past few years, many Gen Zers have turned to seemingly steadier fields education

The sector was the fastest-growing industry among recent U.K. graduates last year, and it was similarly a top career choice for American graduates

And while the fession can vide further work-life balance and decent benefits, the ability for AI to do the work may cause further headache

The report singles out farm and management educators—as well as postsecondary economics, , and library science teachers—as roles with relatively high AI applicability

While it’s unly that schools will roll out AI teachers en masse, the report’s findings underscore how quickly the nology could reshape the education fession—and many others
