10 High-Paying and Growing Jobs With Low Exposure to AI
Key Points:
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) identified 213 out of 831 occupations as having low exposure to AI, meaning their tasks do not align well with current AI capabilities and large language models (LLMs) rarely perform their duties.
- Among these low-exposure jobs, 20 have median annual wages of at least $75,000, with some projected to see employment growth between 2025 and 2035, including dental hygienists and other high-paying roles.
- Conversely, over 100 high-paying jobs are classified as very highly exposed to AI, such as software developers, financial managers, and human resources specialists, where AI can assist or complete many job tasks.
- BLS clarifies that AI exposure does not necessarily indicate job loss, automation risk, productivity changes, or wage effects, but reflects how AI currently interacts with specific occupational tasks.
- AI's prominence in the workplace and hiring processes is increasing, with more job postings referencing AI and employers expecting workers to use AI tools to enhance productivity.
