If you’re here because you searched for a list of jobs AI won’t replace, you might be feeling a little anxious about your own.

So we’ll dive right into the good news.

“I believe very few jobs will be replaced by AI,” says Robert Seamans, PhD, professor of management and organizations at NYU Stern School of Business, and co-author of several papers on the topic.

Plus, while most jobs will shift, change won’t happen overnight. “Introducing AI into an enterprise setting takes longer and is more expensive than most businesses anticipate,” Seamans says. “Integration of new technologies into existing businesses always takes longer than expected.”

This means creatives still have plenty of time to familiarize themselves with new technology to keep pace with its application to their work.

“All workers should be experimenting with AI tools,” Seamans says. “Play around with them. See what they do well and don’t do well. See how they can help you with your job.” This will keep your skills sharp, he says. (You can start with these Wix Studio AI tools.)

Despite the changes on the horizon, there are certain occupations that are poised to have the largest expansion and growth over the next decade, creative ones included.

These creative and digital-focused occupations pose opportunities for expansion, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Take a look, then either sigh in relief or sharpen your skills to be more competitive.

01. Art directors

As print mediums continue to falter, art directors are forecast to increasingly shift into mobile and digital forums for five-percent growth over the next decade.

02. Software developers

Software developers are anticipated to see a 17 percent uptick in jobs due to “artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, robotics and other automation applications,” per the BLS.

03. Data scientists

More is more, at least in the case of data scientists. As more data becomes available, the demand for data scientists to analyze and review data will also increase. Notably, this occupation is forecasted to increase by 36 percent by 2033.

04. Web developers and digital designers

As eCommerce continues to expand, these occupations are predicted to grow eight percent by 2033. More good news: you can use the latest in AI web design, including related AI web design tools, to work efficiently.

05. Marketing managers

Even in the face of AI, marketing isn’t going anywhere. This occupation is predicted to rise by eight percent. However, the BLS notes that the automation of digital ad placement can thwart demand for specific ad managers, a related field. (When in doubt, consider starting a digital marketing side hustle before going all in.)

06. Special effects artists and animators

These roles should see four percent job growth in the next decade, thanks to increased interest in gaming and gaming-related graphics.

07. Architects

Architect jobs are predicted to grow by eight percent due to ongoing sustainability construction, planning and design needs for a range of buildings and structures.

08. Dancers and choreographers

Choreographers will have some of the most substantial occupational growth—and lowest risk of automation—between 2021 and 2031. These roles are forecast to enjoy almost 30 percent growth by 2031, according to the U.S. Career Institute.

09. IT security analysts

Cyberattacks continue to swell, meaning that more specialists are required to thwart hackers. Businesses and corporations will need to strengthen their security measures to rebuff these ongoing attacks, causing a forecasted 33 percent rise in occupation expansion.

10. Videographers

It's true the job of a videographer will change as more AI tools come to market, but our insatiable appetite for video content still means video-related jobs will increase at an average pace.

11. Medical and Health Services Managers

This role involves significant interaction with patients and healthcare providers, requiring empathy and human judgment1.

12. Human Resources Managers

HR managers need to handle interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, and employee relations, which rely heavily on human empathy1.

13. General and Operations Managers

Effective management involves strategic planning, leadership, and direct interaction with employees, making it difficult for AI to replace1.
