AI in India:20 jobs likely to be affected — and 20 that may stay safe

by AIP Online Bureau | Aug 9, 2025 | Facts, Risk Management, Technology, Workplace/Employee Benefits | 0 comments

Jobs that will be most affected by AI: Ticket agents/travel clerks,legal assistants (routine drafting),Telephone operators,Finance/insurance underwriters doing rote tasks,Coders doing repetitive tasks,Junior marketing researchers,Customer service representatives,Basic QA testers in IT,Interpreters/translators,Marketing analytics (predictive reporting automation),Writers/authors (basic content),CNC tool programmers,Data entry clerks,Data scientists,HR screening roles,Web developers, Warehouse stockers

Prateek Kithania is one of those people who makes AI feel less scary and more understandable. He’s been working with tech, data, and human behaviour for years, and now helps companies, startups, and even colleges figure out how to use AI the right way—not just smartly, but also responsibly.

According to Prateek’s experience and research following are the jobs that will be most affected by AI:

Call centre agents,Basic accounting/bookkeeping,Ticket agents/travel clerks,legal assistants (routine drafting),Telephone operators,Finance/insurance underwriters doing rote tasks,Coders doing repetitive tasks,Junior marketing researchers,Customer service representatives,Basic QA testers in IT,Interpreters/translators,Marketing analytics (predictive reporting automation),Writers/authors (basic content),CNC tool programmers,Data entry clerks,Data scientists,HR screening roles,Web developers, Warehouse stockers

AI is already doing many of these jobs—or parts of them—using chatbots, automation, and pattern recognition. Big names like Microsoft highlight how language-based, repetitive roles, such as customer service and writing, are highly vulnerable.

In India, call centres and BPO roles are getting hit hard; AI tools are even masking accents and giving instant replies. Also, the UN and local experts warn that IT, driving, and marketing roles may face real disruption in five years

But the good news is, not every job is on the chopping block.

There are many careers that still need a strong human touch—things AI just can’t replicate, like empathy, creativity, hands-on skills, or emotional intelligence. Whether it’s caring for someone’s health, fixing something with your hands, or solving real-world problems with out-of-the-box thinking, these are the areas where humans still shine.

So if you’re planning your career path or simply wondering whether your job is future-proof, don’t worry. Here is a list of jobs in opinion of Mr. Prateek Kithani that are least likely to be replaced by AI in the next five years:

Nurses & nurse practitioners,Plumbers,Psychiatrists or therapists,Chefs & bakers,Physical therapists,Farmers & arborists,Dentists & dental hygienists,Social workers,Nutritionists / dieticians,Journalists (investigative),Teachers (K-12) & university professors,Hair stylists & makeup artists,Tutors & learning coaches,Priests / religious mentors & ethicists,Painters (creative artists),Auto mechanics,Craft artists / DIY, entrepreneurs,Phlebotomists,Electricians,Emergency responders: paramedics, firefighters,

These jobs demand a human touch, empathy, creativity, or hands-on work. Microsoft and other sources tell us that manual, caregiving, creative, and nuanced roles are much less replaceable by AI. Think trades, healthcare, education, art, law, healing—those won’t go away. Even where AI helps, humans lead; AI assists, it doesn’t replace empathy or emotional support.
