Repetitive skills like pattern recognition, information retrieval, optimization and planning are most vulnerable to automation. On the other hand, social and cognitive skills such as creativity, problem-solving, drawing conclusions about emotional states and social interactions are least vulnerable.
The most resilient competencies (those least likely to be displaced by AI) included critical thinking, teamwork, interpersonal skills, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Yuval Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, described the rise of AI as a "cascade of ever-bigger disruptions" in higher education rather than a single event that settles into a new equilibrium. The unknown paths taken by AI will make it increasingly difficult to know what to teach students.

Check the queue, takyon! You know, AI could replace you, and maybe already has, . . . no, too much evidence to the contrary.

You'd just bitch that the algorithm discriminated against you if the eds were replaced by AI. And you'd be 100% correct as your subs would most definitely be a significant part of the training material.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
