Most At-Risk Jobs Thanks to AI: Professionals Are Most Likely to Get the Chop

A report released by the UK government last week, shows which jobs are most likely to be affected by artificial intelligence (AI) and large language modelling (LLM). If AI taking jobs is now a thing, then which ones are they?

The jobs more likely to get the chop are professional roles, especially in areas such as finance, business management and law. Interestingly this includes business analysts, along with accountants and business or organisational psychologists.

Fascinatingly, these jobs are mainly found in large cities, so it could have knock-on effects on the property market as people decamp to regional areas. People with advanced degrees are also more likely to be on the chopping block. 

Teachers are also at risk, as well as those in the insurance industry.
