The 25 college majors that may be safest from AI, ranked
AI is changing the job market. But a recent study found that education and healthcare fields are among the least affected by AI.
The study revealed that education and healthcare fields are among the least impacted by AI, making them relatively safer choices for college students. Graduates in these fields maintained higher employment rates and earnings compared to those in higher-exposure areas. Graduates of computer science, computer engineering, and journalism were found to be among the most exposed to AI, with a 5 percentage point lower employment rate and 13% lower initial earnings than those in less-exposed fields.
Other high-exposure fields include statistics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, actuarial science, and nutrition. Meanwhile, fields like teaching, medical assisting, and nutrition ranked among the least exposed to AI. While AI may pose some risks to certain job sectors, college students can still consider these safer options when planning their career paths.
