Think tank and advocacy org the World Economic Forum has predicted strong growth in jobs that AI can’t replace, plus big demand for skills to automate those that can.

Half of employers plan to reorient their business in response to AI , two-thirds plan to hire talent with specific AI skills, while 40 percent anticipate reducing their workforce where AI can automate tasks.

Frontline jobs will grow fastest, including delivery drivers, construction workers, sales people, and food processing workers.

Care economy jobs, nursing professionals, social workers, and personal care aides are expected to grow significantly.
