The Roles Most at Risk From AI Right Now

1. 1

   First-year analyst and associate work

   It's document production from known inputs, which is the exact shape of the work models do well. Get in front of clients early — the relationship is the part that survives.

   • ·Graduate intake down at large firms
2. 2

   Volume copywriting and content production

   Buyers now compare your per-word rate to something near zero. Own a channel instead of filling one.

   • ·Rate compression
3. 3

   Tier-one customer support

   Deflection is the headline metric in every support tool's roadmap. The escalation and retention side is where judgment and money still meet.

   • ·Deflection targets in vendor roadmaps
4. 4

   Bookkeeping and routine reconciliation

   Structured inputs, checkable output. Advisory work — telling owners what the numbers mean — is a different job and it isn't going anywhere.

   • ·Structured inputs
   • ·Output verifiable in seconds
5. 5

   Junior software engineering on well-defined tickets

   A well-specified ticket is the easiest thing in the world to hand to a model. Own an outcome, not a queue.

   • ·Ticket-shaped work
6. 6

   Paralegal document review

   Priced per hour, graded on recall, both measurable. Case strategy needs a licensed human in a way review never did.

   • ·Hourly pricing
   • ·Measurable recall

How I put this in order. My read, not a study. I'm looking at how much of the job is producing a document from known inputs, how measurable the output is, and how fast a manager can check it. Each entry says where I'd move instead.
