Will AI take your job? Interactive tool reveals just how likely you are to be replaced by a robot - and it's bad news for computer programmers

From summarising boring documents to helping you plan a holiday, artificial intelligence (AI) is already taking over some jobs once reserved for humans.But experts now warn that some roles are teetering on the edge of being replaced entirely by AI.According to a new calculator developed by experts at Kickresume, those jobs include some of the best-paid and most prestigious professions.And it is especially bad news if you thought learning to code would keep your job safe from AI.The calculator uses the latest research from Anthropic, developers of Claude, and ChatGPT-creators OpenAI to assign a 'risk level' to 756 different roles, with anything over 30 per cent considered 'high risk'.The jobs with the highest odds of being replaced are telephone operators and office administration or support roles, with a risk level of 83 per cent.But highly skilled roles are also in jeopardy, with computer programmers coming in a close second at a risk level of 67 per cent.If you want to know how likely you are to be replaced by a robot, you can try out the interactive calculator below and find out for yourself. The job risk calculator is partially based on a new measurement created by Anthropic called observed exposure.This measures how many tasks in a given job are actually being automated in professional settings, based on real data from Claude users.A profession's exposure is higher if people are actually using AI to perform some of its tasks and if those automated tasks make up a bigger share of the overall job.This is why the jobs at highest risk of AI replacement are those made up of simple, repetitive tasks that AI is already being used to perform.Peter Duris, CEO and Co-Founder of Kickresume, told the Daily Mail: 'When you look at the top 20 jobs most likely to be replaced by AI according to our tool, there are a few patterns.'The biggest predictor of whether a job is at risk seems to be whether AI can already handle certain parts of the work - and, if it can’t, how likely it is to be able to do so soon.'Tasks like scheduling meetings and taking notes, coordinating with colleagues over email, and processing documents are increasingly being taken over by AI.'That also puts legal secretaries, administrative assistants and office support workers in the 'high risk' category as the third most threatened category of profession. Research conducted by Claude-maker Anthropic shows that AI is already starting to replace tasks in computing and office admin, but could soon expand to cover far more roles The 10 jobs most likely to be replaced by AI Telephone Operators, Office and Administrative Support: Risk Level 83%Computer Programmers, Computer and Mathematical: Risk Level 67%Legal Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Office and Administrative Support: Risk Level 64%Customer Service Representatives, Office and Administrative Support: Risk Level 63%Data Entry Keyers, Office and Administrative Support: Risk Level 63%Medical Records Specialists, Healthcare Practitioners and Technical: Risk Level 63%Medical Transcriptionists, Healthcare Support: Risk Level 60%Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists, Business and Financial Operations: Risk Level 57%Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products Sales and Related: Risk Level 54%Database Architects, Computer and Mathematical: Risk Level 52% They are closely followed by customer support representatives, who are already being replaced by automated chatbots, with a risk level of 63 per cent.Interestingly, Mr Duris points out that AI risk doesn't have anything to do with salary, with some of the best-paid jobs being the most at risk,'For instance, Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers - a tech role that can come with a high salary - lands in 19th place on our list of the top 20 jobs at risk,' Mr Duris said.'That’s because a lot of tasks involved in this role can be automated.'At the very other end of the scale are the trades that involve practical skills, which are the least at risk of being replaced by AI.Stonemasons, pile drive operators, painter decorators, roofers, and several other trades all had a zero per cent risk of being replaced by AI, according to Kickresume.Mr Duris says: 'Someone has to physically be there. You can't hand that to a computer.'Likewise, roles that require a distinctly human approach were also totally safe, with preschool special education teachers and librarians also scoring a risk rating of zero per cent. Studies suggest that AI is already making the job market harder for graduates, especially in AI-exposed jobs such as software development.

When AI takes over certain tasks, there's usually still someone prompting the tool, supervising it, and checking whether the results hold up.'There have already been a few headline-grabbing workforce cuts as businesses scramble to save on costs by swapping expensive staff with computers.In February, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey cut nearly half of the workforce at his payments firm Block, firing more than 4,000 people while specifically citing AI as the reason.However, the good news is that AI doesn't seem to be replacing a substantial number of humans just at the moment.If AI were replacing humans across the entire economy, we would expect to see rising unemployment in the most exposed roles, such as coders and customer service representatives.Yet Anthropic's analysis showed that there has been no widespread increase in unemployment for workers in highly AI-exposed roles since 2022, the year ChatGPT launched to the public. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey (pictured) cut nearly half of the workforce at his payments firm Block, firing more than 4,000 people while specifically citing AI as the reason. However, research suggests that AI adoption hasn't led to any greater levels of unemployment for the most at-risk jobs (yellow and purple lines) compared to less exposed rolesOn the other hand, experts warn that a slowdown in hiring for some of those roles might be coming.Recent research from Stanford University suggests that AI's impact on overall employment is likely small, but could be partially to blame for a tough graduate job market.In the UK, the number of vacancies in the job market has nearly halved since its 2022 peak.While this so-called vacancy compression is no doubt influenced by wider economic factors, some experts suggest that AI could have been an influence.Mr Duris adds: 'We’re already seeing the impact, with fewer online job postings year-on-year in sectors that are very exposed to AI—especially in the UK.'It's also showing up in how people talk about their own jobs. In a survey we ran last spring, 21% of respondents said they had either lost a job to AI or knew someone who had.'That's not a measure of how many jobs have gone - but it does tell you how close the question already feels.'HALF OF CURRENT JOBS WILL BE LOST TO AI WITHIN 15 YEARS Kai-Fu Lee, the author of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, told Dailymail.com the world of employments was facing a crisis 'akin to that faced by farmers during the industrial revolution.'Half of current jobs will be taken over by AI within 15 years, one of China's leading AI experts has warned.Kai-Fu Lee, the author of bestselling book AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, told Dailymail.com the world of employments was facing a crisis 'akin to that faced by farmers during the industrial revolution.''People aren't really fully aware of the effect AI will have on their jobs,' he said.Lee, who is a VC in China and once headed up Google in the region, has over 30 years of experience in AI.He believes it is imperative to 'warn people there is displacement coming, and to tell them how they can start retraining.'Luckily, he said all is not lost for humanity. 'AI is powerful and adaptable, but it can't do everything that humans do.' Lee believe AI cannot create, conceptualize, or do complex strategic planning, or undertake complex work that requires precise hand-eye coordination.He also says it is poor at dealing with unknown and unstructured spaces.Crucially, he says AI cannot interact with humans 'exactly like humans', with empathy, human-human connection, and compassion.
