Your Georgia job may not survive AI, but these careers will
There’s been a lot of chatter about artificial intelligence and its impending effect on employment as of late. By 2030, AI is expected to create 133 million new jobs globally, but it will also displace many roles, global web hosting company, Hostinger says.
Even though AI will fundamentally reshape the global job market, there are a few industries that become AI-proof.
For Georgians looking for ways to work in the near future, that means focusing on jobs that require human insight, creativity and critical thinking.
Essentially, you will need to look for employment in a selected handful of roles AI can’t easily replace.
What factors make a job AI-proof?
Recent research by Hostinger analyzed five key indicators to identify the most resilient jobs in an AI-driven economy.
LinkedIn explains what these factors mean for workers:
Automation risk: refers to the likelihood that a job’s core tasks could be performed by artificial intelligence or robotics.
Labor demand growth: an increase in the number of workers that employers are willing and able to hire over time.
Projected annual openings: the estimated total income a worker is expected to earn in a year, based on current wage rates, anticipated pay increases, and typical hours worked.
Current employment: the number of people actively working in jobs that are available right now
World Economic Forum Net Growth: the projected increase in employment after accounting for both job creation and job displacement due to automation and other macro trends.
These industries could become AI-proof in the future
The Hostinger firm surveyed “a sample of business leaders and professionals with decision-making power” to formulate a 0–100 scale.
Higher scores signal greater resilience in an AI-driven economy.
