π¨ Is Your Job on the AI Chopping Block? π¨


New findings are spotlighting the roles most likely to face an AI takeover within the next year. A survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) of over 2,000 employers has shown that AI is poised to majorly impact workplace dynamics, with many fearing a reduction in workforce size. πΌπ

π Some eye-opening stats:
– 17% of employers expect AI will shrink their workforce.
– Junior managerial, clerical, and administrative roles are most at risk.
– One in four employers in large private firms foresee a significant workforce contraction.
While 61% of firms plan to recruit new roles, 22% are gearing up for redundancies by the end of 2025. The call for a national movement to upskill and retrain workers has never been more urgent, according to James Cockett of CIPD. He stresses that a focus on long-term workforce planning and investment in skills is essential to ride the AI wave successfully. π
With the UK unemployment rate hitting 5% recently, reaching the highest since 2016 (excluding COVID-19 surges), itβs crucial to stay ahead. π
Here’s a quick look at the jobs most at risk:
1. Clerical or Administrative – 62%
2. Manager or Senior Administrator – 28%
3. Sales or Services – 27%
4. Semi-skilled or Unskilled Manual – 23%
5. Professional – 17%
6. Skilled Manual Work – 13%
7. Foreman – 10%
