Will AI take my job?

AI will change many jobs by automating tasks, so learning to work with it is the best preparation.

No one can say for certain, and experts disagree. What is clear is that AI is changing how many jobs are done by automating some tasks, rather than replacing whole jobs overnight.

Jobs with many repetitive, text-based or data-based tasks are likely to change the most.

What tends to change

Drafting, summarising, basic analysis and customer queries are increasingly assisted by AI. Some roles will shrink while new ones appear.

What helps you

Learn to use AI tools in your field, build skills that are harder to automate, such as judgement, communication, creativity and relationships, and keep learning.

Practical steps

Try AI on small parts of your work, stay informed about your industry and talk to your employer about training.
