• Surprisingly, the answer is yes; some jobs are AI-secure!  3 global forecasts reach the same conclusion:  blue collar jobs like constructions workers, barbers and caregivers are the most insulated against losing their jobs to AI.  Here's what we know:

1. The researchers found that office workers are most at risk for losing their jobs
2. Safest jobs include skilled trades like plumbers, intensive manual labor and positions that require a combination of physical skills, knowledge and social work like nurses and caregivers
3. Over the next decade, the fastest growing jobs will be healthcare, transportation, green renewable energy & hi-tech manufacturing
4. Overall forecast:  14 million jobs will be lost to AI; hundreds of millions of white-collar jobs will be disrupted; 1 billion knowledge workers will be impacted by the AI revolution.
5. These forecasts have just been released by the World Economic Summit-Accenture; US Bureau of Labor Statistics and McKinsey.
