Florista, tapicero o ebanista: las profesiones sin titulación universitaria son las menos expuestas a la IA

As artificial intelligence (AI) disrupts the labor market, preliminary evidence suggests that certain professions are less vulnerable to automation. Occupations such as florists, carpenters, and cabinetmakers appear to be among the most resilient, while fields like engineering, management, and law face a greater risk of being replaced by automated procedures. A recent official U.S. classification ranks most health-related professions, from massage therapists to dental assistants, as the most protected.

In general, any profession that requires manual dexterity is currently difficult to substitute. The list of jobs with low exposure to AI is extensive, encompassing carpenters, woodworkers, dancers, florists, and locksmiths. Beyond the necessity for manual labor, many of these professions also share a common trait: they typically do not require a university education to perform the job.
