Legend
- No.: The ranking order, with 1 being the most likely to be automated.
- Job Title: The name of the role or profession.
- Why AI Outperforms Humans in this Role: Explains the reasons why AI is better suited for the tasks in this role (e.g., automation of repetitive tasks, 24/7 availability, rapid data processing).
- Estimated Time to Automation: A rough timeframe in which significant automation of the role might occur.

Conclusion
While AI is advancing rapidly and many routine tasks are becoming automated, it is important to recognize that in most cases AI will augment human capabilities rather than completely replace human roles. Creativity, interpersonal skills, complex decision-making, and ethical considerations remain challenging for AI to replicate. Consequently, many professions are likely to evolve rather than disappear, with humans focusing more on strategic, creative, and interpersonal aspects while AI handles routine and data-intensive tasks.
