10 Careers AI and Automation Could Shrink Before 2035

Artificial intelligence, robotics and digital tools are reshaping the workplace. Jobs built around repetitive, predictable tasks are likely to face the greatest pressure as businesses seek faster and cheaper ways to work. Roles such as data entry clerks, telemarketers, cashiers, administrative assistants, bookkeeping clerks, switchboard operators and ticket clerks may decline significantly.
