You wake up to an AI assistant summarizing your emails. At work, ChatGPT drafts your reports while algorithms analyze team productivity. On your lunch break, a robot delivers your food ordered automatically by your smartwatch. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the rapidly approaching future of work. As AI transforms every industry, the real question isn’t whether your job will change, but how you’ll adapt.
The Jobs AI Will (and Won’t) Replace

- Creative directors (AI lacks original vision)
- Therapists (empathy can’t be coded)
