Ranked: Which Jobs Are Safest from AI?

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

Public-facing jobs are safest. Roles like emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and social workers have low automation risk due to constant human interaction.
Management roles are resilient. Jobs involving leadership and decision-making remain harder to automate.
Skilled trades remain strong. Physical, hands-on work is less vulnerable to artificial intelligence.

AI continues to disrupt workplaces, but not all jobs are equally at risk. This infographic ranks the occupations least likely to be automated, based on public interaction, task complexity, and human judgment.

From EMTs to HR managers, the most resilient jobs typically involve interpersonal engagement, leadership, or hands-on technical skills that are difficult to replicate with AI systems.

The data for this visualization comes from Esquimoz. It analyzes a blend of automation risk scores and the necessity for public interaction to determine which jobs are safest from artificial intelligence.

Human Interaction Protects Emergency Roles

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and healthcare social workers top the list, with 100% public interaction and very low automation risk. These roles require on-the-spot decisions, emotional intelligence, and real-time responsiveness, traits that AI still struggles to match.

Occupation	Public interaction (%)	Automation Risk	Score
Emergency medical technicians	100%	7%	100
Healthcare social workers	100%	11%	98
Lawyers	100%	29%	86
Medical & health services managers	90%	26%	82
First-line supervisors of construction trades & extraction workers	79%	17%	80
HR managers	83%	26%	78
General & operations managers	80%	36%	70
Maintenance & repair workers	72%	35%	65
First-line supervisors of administrative support workers	82%	50%	62
Training & development specialists	58%	29%	60

Managers Remain Hard to Replace

Leadership positions such as HR managers, operations managers, and construction supervisors rank highly due to their reliance on judgment, strategy, and team coordination. While some managerial tasks can be automated, the core human element remains essential.

Skilled Trades Show Resilience

Jobs like maintenance and repair workers and construction supervisors continue to resist automation due to their physical and situational demands. These professions often involve complex, variable environments that AI has yet to master.
