Here are the jobs most and least likely to be transformed by GenAI, according to a new index from Indeed (www.businessinsider.com)

🤖 AI Summary
Indeed launched a GenAI Skill Transformation Index that evaluates how generative AI could change nearly 2,900 discrete work skills. Rather than predict outright job loss, the index scores skills on two core dimensions—problem-solving capacity (cognitive reasoning, applied knowledge, practical judgment) and physical necessity—and classifies skills into four buckets: minimal, assisted, hybrid, and full transformation. Key findings: 41% of skills are exposed to high GenAI-driven change; 26% of jobs posted in the past year could be “highly” transformed and 54% “moderately” transformed. Nearly half (46%) of the skills in a typical US job posting are poised for hybrid transformation, where GenAI performs routine work and humans provide oversight. For the AI/ML community, the index quantifies where models will matter most and how they’ll be integrated. Software development tops the list (81% of its skills moving to hybrid), followed by data & analytics and accounting, while roles requiring physical presence or empathetic human interaction—childcare, nursing, construction—are least affected beyond administrative tasks. Notably, 19 skills (0.7%) are now judged “very likely” to be fully replaceable—up from zero a year ago—signaling accelerating capability. Practical implications include redesigning workflows to embed GenAI, prioritizing reskilling, and building tools and governance for human-in-the-loop oversight where judgment and physical execution remain critical.
