A research study conducted by the Department for Education in the U.K., as reported by InfoStride News, has identified certain occupations that are more susceptible to influence from artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots. In contrast, jobs such as construction workers are deemed less likely to be impacted by AI.
InfoStride News reports that the analysis covered 365 job categories and their associated skill sets. Each skill was then compared against the top 10 applications of AI to assess compatibility.
The study revealed that professions requiring higher levels of formal education face a higher likelihood of being replaced by AI, with management consultants and business analysts topping the list. Financial managers, directors, accountants, and psychologists are also among the top five occupations most prone to AI replacement.

Interestingly, legal professionals secured the eighth position in the list of professions potentially becoming obsolete due to AI.
In the context of chatbots and advanced language models like ChatGPT, InfoStride News learns that telephone salespersons emerged as the occupation most susceptible to technological displacement. Solicitors or general salespersons claimed the second spot, while psychologists once again appeared prominently, securing the third position in terms of vulnerability to replacement by chatbot technology.
Conversely, jobs requiring intricate technical expertise and manual labor were deemed less likely to be replaced by technology. Predictably, sports players occupied the top position in this category. Roofers, plasterers, steel erectors, and parking valets completed the top five occupations least likely to be affected by AI.
The findings indicated that jobs with lower wages or minimal formal education requirements were relatively safer from AI intervention. The report stated, “The occupations least exposed to AI and LLM include many of the same areas, including more manual work that is technically difficult, in unpredictable environments, and with lower wages.”
In summary, the report listed the top five jobs at risk of AI exposure as follows:
1. Management consultants and business analysts
2. Financial Managers and directors
3. Chartered and certified accountants
4. Psychologists
5. Purchasing managers and directors
Additionally, the top five jobs at risk of Chatbot exposure were identified as:
1. Telephone salespersons
2. Solicitors
3. Psychologists
4. Further education teaching professionals
5. Market and street traders and assistants
