Jobs safe from being replaced by AI can be categorized into three categories. The first category includes jobs that require physical presence and manual labor, such as plumbing, welding, and construction. These tasks are difficult to automate because they take place offline in the physical world and require human dexterity. The second category consists of jobs that involve human connection, like nurses, therapists, and teachers. Even if AI could perform these tasks equally well, human interaction, nurturing, and disciplinary roles are essential aspects of these jobs. The third category comprises jobs that are protected by regulations. Certain sectors of the economy, such as healthcare, have strict regulations that prevent AI from replacing professionals like doctors. These regulations ensure that specialized knowledge, expertise, and human judgment are preserved.
