As AI continues to transform the global economy, James Reed, CEO of Reed, identifies 11 resilient professions that are poised to thrive despite rapid technological shifts. According to Reed, these "AI-proof" roles rely heavily on emotional intelligence and human connection—qualities no algorithm can replicate. Healthcare assistants, Teachers, and Paramedics lead the list, as empathy and moral judgment remain irreplaceable in crisis and learning environments.

The report also highlights Skilled Trades (plumbers, electricians) and Cybersecurity Experts, noting that human intuition is vital for real-world problem-solving and outsmarting unpredictable hackers. From Entrepreneurs to Childcare workers, the consensus is clear: while AI will be a powerful tool, the creative spark, ethical responsibility, and warmth of human interaction will remain the bedrock of these industries.
