Latest: The 10 Professions Most Impacted and Safest from AI

The wave of artificial intelligence (AI) has indeed succeeded in making many workers anxious, especially with the increasing sophistication of large language models (LLMs) in recent times. However, how significant is the real threat of AI to our jobs? Researchers from Anthropic have just released a report titled “Labor Market Impacts of AI: A New Measure and Early Evidence”. Notably, they do not merely measure what AI can do on paper. Instead, they compare that theoretical potential with real data on the usage of the Claude chatbot by professionals in the workplace today. The results are somewhat reassuring, at least for now. Anthropic concludes that the adoption of AI in the workplace is still very far from its capability limits. Nevertheless, this report also clearly maps out which professions are now beginning to be “colonised” by AI, and which ones remain safe and secure. Based on the report, here is the complete list of the 10 professions with the highest level of AI exposure, as compiled by KompasTekno from Anthropic’s latest report: Anthropic notes that around 30 percent of workers in the United States occupy a level of AI exposure of “zero percent”. This means their daily tasks are too infrequent or even impossible to be replaced by machines, at least for the time being. An interesting fact from this report: the workers most vulnerable to being displaced by AI actually come from the ranks of highly educated and high-paid professionals. Data shows that workers highly exposed to AI are dominated by bachelor’s degree graduates (37.1 percent) and postgraduates (17.4 percent). Their average wage ($32.69 USD/hour) is also much higher compared to workers not exposed to AI at all ($22.23 USD/hour). Although the above list appears alarming, there is good news from this research. Up to the release of the report, Anthropic found no surge in massive unemployment figures, even among the most vulnerable professions. Therefore, the threat of mass layoffs due to AI does not seem to be a reality in the near future.
