These 40 jobs are most at risk from AI, a shocking revelation in the Microsoft study.

Microsoft Study: A shocking revelation has been made in a Microsoft study. It states that along with interpreters and translators (translating from one language to another), there are many other jobs that are at risk of AI (Artificial Intelligence). Among these, jobs like historians, sales representatives, passenger attendants are likely to be more affected by AI.

Don't compete with AI, take it along

Usually, whenever AI is mentioned, people feel that due to this, jobs like IT, consultancy, research, writing will end in the coming times. Whereas Microsoft's research has revealed what should be expected from it in reality. Microsoft says that the industries that are most likely to be affected by AI will first have to learn how to use AI as a copilot rather than competing with it.

Customer representatives are at the top of the list of high-overlap due to AI, with around 2.86 million people connected to them. Apart from this, this study on AI is no less than a warning bell for writers, journalists, editors, translators and proofreaders. Along with this, questions are being raised about long-term job security in the fields of web developers, data scientists, PR professionals, business analysts, whereas AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot have already been used in these jobs.
