Any career path that involves decision making: Law, Business, Management, Marketing, etc.

Those will be hard to replace because guess what, no matter how well a machine can perform the tasks involved in those areas, POLICYMAKERS WON'T RELINQUISH DECISION MAKING TO MACHINES ANYTIME SOON.

You can ask an AI chat bot anything about legal counseling, but no matter how good they are at solving cases, judges and many legislators themselves are LAWYERS, they will always demand a human to have the final saying on anything. They are the key masters.

Also, science careers that help you understand what the heck is going on in this brave new world: Engineering, economics, mathematics, computer sciences, etc.

Stay away from philosophy, most of humanities, psychology. They are already obsolete, in a matter of years they will be meaningless, in a generation or two they will be worth little more than astrology. Sorry if i'm being too harsh on the last one, no mean to offend anyone but it looks like we are heading there.

Last but not least, no matter what you do, pick an athletic and/or an artistic skill. Health and creativity are more important than ever for self improvement.

might be true that ppl in management wont like to relinquish, but for others-most of marketing could be done by AI nowadays or in next years, law could be similar, point isnt that the profession will be replaced alogether in near future but that existing lawyers etc will be much more efficient and there will be too many of them for the amount of work that needs to be done, so there will not really be need for new ones

The top 10-20% in any field will become hyper-efficient--priceless!

The others will need OBI.

AI will decimate...no, worse than that...halve the legal profession.

Repetitive tasks are its forte.

Exactly. AI solving repetitive tasks for litigation will be in benefit of Lawyers. What you are missing is that an attorney gets paid to make decisions and signing his endorsement of such decisions.

If any, it’s paralegals and other staff working under the supervision of lawyers are the ones who are in trouble, not lawyers themselves.

It doesn’t matter if the machine solves the problem. Cutting the middle man will be a pain in that case… because this middleman so happens to be the one passing and interpreting the LAW (not to mention that this are the guys who are the most likely choices for president, and not just in the US)

Why did you put psychology on your obsolete list? Seems as though there will be a great need for therapists. Nobody wants to do something that personal with a robot.

Because psychology as we know it will probably become just an appendix of psychiatry and neuroscience. Those are more likely the professionals who are going to design and dispense therapy in the future.

I don’t know if I agree with that. I can see that it is a logical conclusion for how humans may be treated. But while I’ve never used their services in the past, I wouldn’t want the experience to be boiled down to a diagnosis and a prescription. The thought of it makes me sad, it feels dehumanizing.
