7 Jobs That Don't Exist Today but Will in the Next 5 Years Because of AI

How AI will change the future of work

For years, we've been warned by studies touting alarming headlines about the future of work, like the 2017 report from Dell and Institute for the Future that "85 percent of jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't been invented yet." 

But for those of us living in blissful ignorance of generative AI until the public launch of ChatGPT in late-2022, these reports failed to provoke a sense of urgency. 

Until now.  

It no longer seems like an over-exaggeration that the world of work is going to look markedly different in just a few short years, as IBM's recent announcement to replace nearly 8,000 jobs with AI over the next few years makes clear.  

Everyone -- from Chief People Officers at Fortune 500 companies whose headcount plans have been upended to incoming college students wondering if their planned majors are going to prepare them for a job that will even exist when they graduate -- is justified in thinking that we need to get a better grip on what this future might look like.

While it can help to be reminded that it's nothing new for the job landscape to be entirely upended every couple of generations (after all, software engineers and digital marketers never coexisted with lamp lighters or "knocker-uppers" or essentially human alarm clocks), it's still been hard to imagine a world in which the jobs that seem so critical to both doing business and living life might be supplanted.

That's why I turned to Kristin Fracchia, who runs a team of product marketers and analysts at Chegg Skills, and who spent countless hours analyzing trends in the job market. Kristin and her team have a pulse on what is going to change in the job market better than anyone. When I asked Kristin what are the jobs that don't exist today, but Chief Human Resource Officers and training managers should be aware are just around the corner, here is what she shared as a sampling across various industries: Read the full article on Inc.com here .
