Is tech safe from AI? Data scientists lead this list, with 35m of a typical 8-hour shift touched by AI or robots, followed by actuaries and computer network architects. Across the 19 jobs, the median is 3h 13m, so most of each shift is still work people do.
This list covers tech 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.
