Are office jobs safe from AI? Public safety telecommunicators lead this list, with 22m of a typical 8-hour shift touched by AI or robots, followed by cargo and freight agents and government programs eligibility interviewers. Across the 25 jobs, the median is 1h 28m, so most of each shift is still work people do.
This list covers office and admin jobs with at least 5,000 workers. "Touched" means time spent on tasks where AI use is documented in real usage data or where robots have done the task in a real workplace. Low numbers reflect today's evidence and can change as AI and robots improve. Each job links to its full time card, pay by state and similar jobs.
