An AI model has identified 10 roles it believes could be taken over by the technology in years to come.
Worries around artificial intelligence are still intensifying, and critics have raised several different objections.
For some, the issue is creative work, with musicians, authors, and artists angered by the use of their material to train AI systems without permission.
Others are focused on safety, especially the rise of deepfake content that can make it appear as though someone said or did something they never actually did. There are also environmental concerns, including the large amounts of water and energy required to run AI systems.
Another major fear is employment. Many people believe AI could eventually replace workers across a range of industries, and that without safeguards in place, large numbers of people could lose their livelihoods.
That concern is not limited to speculation. Recent forecasts from the World Economic Forum say technology, including AI, is expected to be one of the biggest forces reshaping the labor market over the next few years, while IMF research suggests AI exposure is especially high in advanced economies and that clerical, administrative and routine information-processing work is among the most vulnerable. U.S. labor officials have also warned that legal, business, financial and computer-related occupations may be susceptible to AI-related impacts, even if many jobs are ultimately transformed rather than eliminated outright.
Research by IT Asset Management Group (IT-AMG) explored that question by asking a Google Gemini model which jobs were most likely to be replaced by AI.
The result was a top 10 list of roles the chatbot considered especially vulnerable to automation.
Richy George, Chief Revenue Officer at IT-AMG, reflected on the findings.
“What’s interesting is how fast the middle layer of corporate data management is shrinking.
“Data Entry ranking top shows that pure information transfer may no longer be a viable human career path.
“Creative and legal professionals might also be surprised to find content writers and paralegals ranking so high in the top ten, ahead of traditional manual labor roles.”
It is worth stressing that AI forecasts like this are not the same as a guaranteed job-loss list. In many cases, the more likely outcome is that AI absorbs repetitive parts of a role, leaving humans to review, supervise, handle exceptions, or do higher-value work. That is already happening in translation, customer support, bookkeeping, and legal research, where AI can speed up drafting, sorting and triage but still needs human oversight.
Below is the list Gemini produced, beginning with the role it viewed as the least likely of the 10 to be replaced and ending with the most likely.
10. Translator
Large language models are increasingly capable of handling technical and business documents in multiple languages.
That could leave human translators focusing more on review and correction rather than producing full translations from scratch.
9. Cashier or checkout assistant
Automated tills are already widespread, and AI could push that even further.
In some stores, customers can already pick up items and leave while payment is processed automatically through their accounts, reducing the need for staffed checkouts.
8. Market research analyst
Gemini suggested AI could gather competitor pricing, review customer information, analyze sentiment, and combine everything into a single report.
Humans, it said, would still likely make the final strategic decisions based on that information.
7. Content writer
This category includes tasks such as writing product descriptions for online stores and creating ad captions for social media.
Because businesses often need a huge amount of this kind of material, AI text generators could be used to produce it at scale.
6. Paralegal
Paralegals often sift through case files and supporting documents before lawyers use them in active cases.
According to the AI-generated response, software could scan and sort those materials far more quickly, reducing the need for human support in that area.
5. Proofreader
Gemini said language models can be trained to focus closely on grammar and meaning, allowing them to identify mistakes in written material.
Because they can do this rapidly, the chatbot argued that proofreaders could be among the roles increasingly affected.
4. Bookkeeper or accounting clerk
These jobs include work such as tracking spending and checking that company ledgers are accurate and balanced.
The AI response suggested future systems could take on much of this routine financial administration.
3. Customer service call handler
This covers the people many customers speak to when they phone a company for help.
Large language models are already being used to triage support tickets and respond to common questions, which could reduce the need for human agents.
2. Telemarketer
Also known as cold-calling, this role was flagged as another one AI may be able to perform.
The reasoning was that these conversations often follow set scripts, and synthetic voices can now be used to place calls.
1. Data Entry Clerk
Gemini placed data entry at the top of the list.
The role largely involves working across databases and transferring information between systems, making it especially vulnerable to low-cost automation through AI tools.
That fits broader labor-market research, which has repeatedly found that jobs built around repetitive, rules-based, text-heavy tasks are among the most exposed to AI. By contrast, roles requiring hands-on physical work, complex judgment, face-to-face interaction, or responsibility for high-stakes decisions are generally seen as harder to automate completely.
For workers, the bigger question may not be whether AI changes their job, but how quickly employers adopt it and whether they invest in retraining. For now, the clearest lesson from the findings is that the most vulnerable roles are often those that revolve around moving information rather than interpreting it.
