45% of roles were at medium to high risk of being replaced by AI (artificial intelligence), including taxi drivers, dental nurses, and sales and customer services staff.
Using the AI bot ChatGPT, the analysts looked at job roles using the ONS Employee earnings in the UK 2022 survey to find out how at risk they are from automation and AI.
According to the data, lower-paid jobs are at a higher risk of being replaced because many of these roles involve repetitive tasks that require little creativity or decision-making.
The experts concluded that bus and delivery drivers could be easily replaced as their routes can be programmed into a machine, and no human thinking will be required.
Mechanical engineers, paramedics, head teachers, and medical practitioners are all among those who are at low risk of being replaced by AI, and they all have a higher salary. Similarly, many creative jobs cannot be replaced by AI or automation.
