A new survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) of more than 20,000 U.S. workers shows that while many tasks can be automated, only a small fraction of jobs are truly at risk of displacement by generative AI. The study highlights that non‑technical barriers such as client preferences, legal constraints, and cost considerations limit automation, especially in roles that require human interaction. Industries like health care and personal care remain largely insulated, whereas computer‑based occupations show higher automation potential. The findings suggest a gradual reshaping of work rather than a sweeping job loss. Read more →

A recent SHRM survey of U.S. workers reveals that while a notable share of tasks can be automated, only a small fraction of jobs are truly at risk. Nontechnical barriers such as client preferences, regulatory constraints, and cost considerations play a major role in limiting AI adoption across occupations. The findings suggest that people‑focused skills remain essential, especially in health‑care and personal‑service roles, and that the AI impact on employment may be more gradual than some industry forecasts predict.
