"Which Jobs Are Safe from AI and How Much They Pay"

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have identified 34 jobs that AI could never do, including electrical power-line installers and repairers, athletes, and pile-driver operators. These jobs have no tasks that could be done by artificial intelligence. The top-paying position was electrical power-line installers and repairers, with a median annual salary of $78,310. However, many of the identified jobs had relatively low wages, such as bartenders and cafeteria workers. The researchers also predicted that jobs in finance and software, such as securities and commodity contracts, have the most exposure to AI. The researchers calculated that 15% of tasks across all jobs could be done faster by AI with no decrease in quality, with that number jumping to somewhere between 47% and 56% if the AI were paired with specialized software and tooling for specific applications.
