Top 5 jobs safe from AI

AI is likely coming for millions of jobs, but Microsoft says these 5 are basically robot-proof: Phlebotomists, nursing assistants, Hazardous Materials Removal Workers, Helpers, Painters, Plasterers, Embalmers Video produced by Yahoo Finance Video Transcript AI is likely coming for millions of jobs, but Microsoft says that these five are likely robot proof. Number one, phlebotomists. That's the medical professional who draws your blood. AI might be booking your appointments, but it's not picking up a needle. Number two, nursing assistants. These workers provide hands-on care, bedpans, bathing, feeding. These are not exactly tasks you're gonna outsource to ChatGPT. Number three, hazardous material removal workers, removing asbestos, lead, or radioactive waste. It is dangerous work and right now something that only humans can be trusted with. Number four is helpers, painters, plasters. This is anything that's hands-on work. So a robot might be able to design your color palette, but picking up a paintbrush, that's not happening, not yet. And finally, the last of the top five jobs, safe from AI embalmers. Preparing bodies for a funeral is personal and delicate work, and right now it is still human only. So if you're in one of these jobs, you might just have more security than the rest of us in this age of AI.
