A lot of folks are gonna say "Tech" because it's a booming industry. But to me, I would argue it's not which industries are going to boom, it's which industries aren't going to shrink their staff size due to AI. For example, if coding can be done twice as fast in the future with AI, then why wouldn't they only then need half the staff? Not every business will think like that but many will, especially in an economic crunch.
So, I would say the things AI nor physical automation definitely can't replace are trades. Plumbers, electricians, builders etc... Any job that is physical but not predictable. Factory work and warehouse work therefore doesn't qualify.
Less firmly, but I still think it's a safe bet to say that industries requiring empathy won't be in trouble anytime soon. Social workers, counsellors, etc... If anything with the increased isolation and separation of society, I expect these industries to grow. Talking to a digital tablet in a foam room is no substitute.
