When people talk about AI and jobs, the conversation usually turns to fear:
“Will AI take my job?”
But the truth is more nuanced. AI won’t simply replace jobs — it will reshape them. By 2030, entire professions will look different, not because humans disappear, but because AI changes the way we work.
Here are 5 jobs already evolving, and how they’ll look in the next 5 years.
