AI's Impact: Will Artificial Intelligence Take Your Job?

The rise of artificial intelligence has sparked concerns about the future of work, especially with rising national debt and trade tensions. The question is whether human jobs can withstand the advancements of machines.

Reports suggest a significant upheaval by 2050, where around 60% of jobs may need major changes because of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is expected to reshape most jobs in the next 10 to 30 years. Consultancy McKinsey estimates that, by 2030, 30% of jobs in the U.S. could be automated.

Goldman Sachs predicts that half of all jobs could disappear by 2045, fueled by generative AI and robotics.

Goldman Sachs previously warned that 300 million jobs globally are at risk. However, some sectors such as construction, manual trades, maintenance, and repairs are considered safer.

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater, cautioned about "significant economic disassembly" within two decades. He believes that productivity could outpace the creation of new jobs.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has observed that artificial intelligence is already impacting sectors, including finance and legal services. He anticipates a "restructuring" of office jobs by 2035.

J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon predicts AI technologies will dominate repetitive tasks in just 15 years.

The effects of artificial intelligence will vary. Some jobs will vanish quickly, while others will last longer.

A 2024 study by the Public Policy Institute found that 60% of administrative tasks are automatable. BlackRock has already started cutting administrative support jobs using AI.

Accounting and financial analysis are among the most at-risk roles. Platforms like Bloomberg Terminal can analyze data and prepare reports faster than humans.

From drafting contracts to legal research, tools like Harvey and Kokai Counsel can perform tasks with accuracy rates of up to 90%, according to a 2025 Stanford University study.

Graphic design, copywriting, and traditional journalism face challenges from DALL·E and other generative AI platforms.

A 2024 Pew center report predicted that 30% of media jobs could disappear by 2035.

While artificial intelligence enhances programmer productivity, it also threatens routine tasks. A 2025 World Economic Forum report indicated that 40% of programming tasks could be automated by 2040.

Still, fields requiring empathy and human interaction, like nursing, psychotherapy, and social work, are less prone to automation.

A 2023 Lancet study predicted that only 25% of administrative tasks in healthcare would disappear by 2035. Education, especially philosophy and early childhood education, requires emotional intelligence that machines cannot easily replicate.

A 2024 OECD report estimated that only 10% of teaching tasks could be automated by 2040.

Strategic leadership, requiring complex decision-making and team motivation, will likely remain in human hands for a long time, according to Dimon and Ackman.

Amid these changes, experts suggest focusing on skills that are hard for artificial intelligence to replicate.

Focus on developing critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and digital flexibility. Move toward sectors resistant to automation, like healthcare and education.

Advocate for training programs to retrain the workforce, so people are prepared for the changes to come.
