10 AI-Proof Jobs to Protect Yourself From the Automation Revolution

The robots are coming for our jobs – or so we've been told. According to a recent report from McKinsey, it's estimated that artificial intelligence (AI) could replace up to 20% of hours worked in the U.S. economy by 2030. And just because you've spent decades honing your skills in a certain career doesn't necessarily mean you're safe, as a Forrester report suggests some of the most easily automated professions will be white-collar jobs.

The emergence of AI and automation in the workforce is a complex issue, one that stirs up both anticipation and anxiety. Historically, technological advancements have led to shifts in employment patterns. The printing press, the steam engine, the internet — all were disruptive in their times, changing the very fabric of how society operates. AI is the latest in this line up of disruptive technologies, offering incredible potential — but not without its downsides.
