AI and automation are transforming the job market. Jobs requiring trust, regulation, and physical skills (e.g., firefighters, surgeons, lawyers) are relatively safe.

Employers need to strategically plan for workforce changes, identifying roles requiring human presence versus those amenable to automation.
