Experts create website that uncovers likelihood of your job being taken over by AI
Millions of works across the world are suddenly seeing their roles at risk of redundancy thanks to AI, so you might want to use a frightening new tool that evaluates the exact likelihood that the tech will take over your job.
Created by tech experts at resume building platform Kickresume, this new tool – aptly named 'Will AI Take My Job?' – evaluates your future employment prospects in a matter of seconds.
It does so using real data from Anthropic's Economic Index, cross-checking that with evidence from the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET database, proving people with exposure scores for 756 different occupations.
While retraining is a difficult prospect for many – especially as entry-level jobs are evaporating at a frightening pace across the employment market – this tool might prompt you to reconsider the safety of your current career in the wake of rapid AI evolution.
What jobs are most at risk of an AI takeover?
It's commonly accepted that jobs in customer service, data entry, and clerical work are most at risk when it comes to AI replacement, and Kickresume's tool scores them worryingly high.

Customer Service Representatives are given a 'very high risk' rating of 63%, matched by Data Entry Keyers and eclipsing the 41% offered up to Office Clerks who might be slightly less at risk.
Teachers still hold a relatively high risk, with the tool giving them a score of 23%, and software developers also are given a score of 25% considering plans outlined by people like Mark Zuckerberg to overhaul coding workforces by up to 50%.
If you do happen to have a job that scores highly on this tool, you can also use it to find an 'AI-proof' career to pivot into, using skills identified by Kickresume to transition into a job that might hopefully be safer for the years to come.
Are there any 'AI-proof' careers?
The prospect of a career that's truly 'AI-proof' at the moment is a bit of a red herring, as there's simply no way of knowing how the tech will continue to evolve in the coming years, leaving almost every role at risk in some capacity.
Leading figures like Palantir CEO Alex Karp have suggested that vocational trade work is the only area that will be 'spared' from the AI revolution, yet others have suggested that this will also find itself on the chopping block when automation and robotics improves.
Bill Gates, contrastingly, has suggested that professional sports is truly the only job that will remain 100% human in the future as there's simply no desire to watch baseball or football without the human element.
One thing that might surprise you is that actors have a score of just 9% when using Kickresume's tool, countering the widespread panic that advanced deepfake technology could replace your favorite faces in film — although the same unfortunately might not be true for voice-related work.
Construction laborers are given a tiny risk score of 3% for the time being though, and that's matched by hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists — as few might want to let a robot at their hair with a pair of scissors right now.
