We are all hearing about the modern technology know as Artificial Intelligence and how it will be taking over a lot of our current occupations. A list of the most A.I. proof jobs has just been released and it's not good news for a lot of professions.

The jobs that are the most A.I. proof are generally in the fields that require a genuine hands on person, everything from HVAC to electricians. For now, the jobs that require the performer to something physical are the safest, even though it's only a matter of time before A.I. enabled robots begin taking those jobs too.

A.I. is everywhere all at once

You can see the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence in just about every facet of life, from students who use it either with or without permission, to job applicants using it to write cover letters and resumes. I have even seen people use it breakup with someone or to sell themselves in the dating world.

We use it our radio station to help assist with commercial copywriting. It is truly amazing when you ask Chat GPT or other sources to write a 60 second commercial about a plumbing company that clears your drains. The results are incredibly fast and usually better than anything we could have come up.

A.I. is being used in hospitals to assist doctors with help diagnosing a particular illness a patient might bring in. It sure is faster than consulting big thick medical books. For now doctors and nurses jobs are safe, but artificial intelligence will be used more and more in most if not all hospitals in the next few years

What are the most and least A.I. vulnerable jobs?

A new Microsoft study examined the susceptibility of various professions to artificial intelligence replacement. According to the findings, roles involving “knowledge work” – such as computer and mathematical jobs, office and administrative support, and sales positions focused on information provision – exhibited the highest AI applicability.

The ten occupations deemed most vulnerable to AI inclusion were interpreters and translators, historians, passenger attendants, service sales representatives, writers and authors, customer service representatives, CNC tool programmers, telephone operators, ticket agents and travel clerks, and broadcast announcers/radio DJs.

Conversely, dredge operators, bridge and lock tenders, water treatment plant operators, and logging equipment operators were identified as least susceptible to AI replacement. (newser)

To be honest, I was not happy to see that radio dj's are not A.I. proof. I was told a long time ago from my brother Max, an engineer that someday robots would do my job. Sad to say he was right after all. I just hope it will not be anytime too soon.

Bob is a native New Englander, growing up (sorta) in Maine where his love for radio started at a young age. While in high school he hosted radio shows on a local radio station, and he has never looked back. Bob joined the US Navy and served onboard the Sixth Fleet Flagship as a radio and TV host. After serving for 3 years, it was off to Emerson College in Boston. Bob hosted shows in Boston on WMEX, WVBF and WSSH in the 80’s and 90’s before heading to radio stations in Raleigh, NC, Manchester, NH, and New York City. Bob has been married for almost 25 years to Carolyn, a Woburn gal and they have 3 daughters, Nicole, Taylor, and Bridget. Bob and Carolyn are proud first-time grandparents to baby Caroline, who they plan to spoil every chance they get! “I started my career in New England and could not be happier to come back to Boston where I can root for all the Boston sports teams and eat lots of lobster rolls and clam chowder (okay not lots)… It is an honor to host the WROR morning show with LBF and wake up the World’s Greatest City!” Bob writes about recipes and restaurants, pop culture and trending topics.
