About This Trend

While fears of replacement and redundancy of jobs due to AI are rising,recent reportsalso point to a set of jobs and fields that might be more insulated from AI than others: those that are heavily based on complex interpersonal relationships or that might require the direct provision of complex services, care, or maintenance. These include the nursing and trades fields (e.g., plumbing, electrical, and construction), thoughcontinued worker shortagesin these industries are a major element of uncertainty.
