Yo yo, what's going on, guys? Welcome to the More Than A Side Hustle podcast, where we help nine to five-ers create more impact, income and influence outside their jobs, and today is no different. Unless you've been living under a rock, you understand and know that AI is everywhere, from chat GBT to self-driving cars to voice assistants that are literally sounding a little bit too human on the phone. I was literally on a phone call with a roofing company and I had to sit there for a few minutes to determine if this is AI or if this is a real human. And if you understand that, then you know that the tech wave is moving a little bit too fast, and this isn't just hype. Microsoft, one of the biggest tech companies in the entire world and they are one of the leaders in artificial intelligence they just released a study breaking down the top 40 jobs most likely to be replaced by AI and the 40 jobs that are least likely to be impacted by this, and one of my friends sent me this study in his article and I thought it was super interesting to share with you guys.
Speaker 1:And if you're new here, my name is Anthony Hartzog. I am a seven figure entrepreneur in the service industry without ever cleaning a single home. Now, how is that? That's because I learned how to use technology and AI in order to scale my business. So when we talk about AI, I'm not just speaking from curiosity. I'm someone who's actually used automation to change my life, replace manual labor and to help others build real businesses. So if you're wondering whether AI is coming for your job, or if you're trying to figure out how to pivot to something more future-proof, so let's dive in. So this list that you're looking at here is Microsoft lists the top 40 jobs most at risk and the 40 jobs least likely to be replaced by AI, and I want you guys to think about it. Let's start with some of the jobs that have the highest risk of being replaced by AI, and there's literally a common thread amongst most of them. They involve repetitive, predictable and language heavy tasks. One of the things you might hear about AI is that they're learning language models, right, so LLMs, and that means that they can learn a lot of language. Essentially, to keep it short and sweet, and if you think about, these top jobs that are being replaced revolve around the same thing. So we're going to dive in.
Speaker 1:So interpreters and translators I literally have these meta AI Ray-Ban shades and what it allows you to do is not only capture what's going on around you via photos and videos. I could literally translate as someone's talking to me. So I tested this out with our pair and I use the Spanish language model and it was able to translate what she was saying in real time. Now, it did have some delays and bugs, but if you think about it, if I could wear shades and someone's talking to me and they are saying something in a different language, I can translate to what I need to hear in my earbuds, which is absolutely amazing. I know some of you guys have Google Translate on your phone. You could just put it up to something and it could translate it. But if you think about it, this has already been around, so now it's just getting replicated in different ways. Soon our earphones will be able to replicate and translate languages.
Speaker 1:So think about anything that's revolved around repetitive tasks. That's the field that you need to get out of Historians, so you could say teachers, right, that's another one. We're obviously learning a lot from the digital space. We're learning a lot from YouTube. We're learning a lot from podcasting. Now we can learn from AI. We can literally teach us exactly what we want. Some ways I use AI is that I will say act like this teacher. Here in this space, I might say act like Warren Buffett, because I want to be a sound investor. How can I invest my money in order to make a million dollars over the next 10, 15 years? So I can now train my business model to act like Warren Buffett and literally train me on how to do that.
Speaker 1:Another top one here passenger attendance. Now, when I read this, I thought about flight attendants. Now, if you think about flight attendants somebody I saw a comment on this post and this video from Leisure and they said well, how could you replace airline attendants? Now, if you think about the way the world is today, we have AI robots who are driving cars. If you've ever been to Atlanta, you've ever been to California, I think they even might have them in Vegas too. They have these self-driving vehicles called Waymo and you literally get in the vehicle and it could drive you around. That's number one. Also, in Atlanta, I saw that they have delivery services that drive through with robots. I've seen this in New York. Now, if you think about it, they could drive cars and they also have self-driving robots that can deliver food. Why can't you have a robot on an airline that just goes up and down Bring chips? They're taking food from you, they're taking orders. Just have a robot do the same thing. Now, in a case of emergencies, you always want to have a human, but you might not need three, four, five flight attendants at. These are huge.
Speaker 1:If you had someone come to me and say, hey, would you like me to write an author, your book? Now what they're going to do is take my voice, take how I speak, take how I hear, take how I learn, take my stories and literally just put it into AI and let the book write the outline for me. So there won't be a need for writers and authors. Now you obviously want to have those human touch points. You, those human touch points. You want to have people who can understand the human language, understand stories. So writers and authors might be safe for a while, but I know a lot of writers and authors are actually using AI just to get the outlines, get the scripts, and then that might be 90% of the book. In the last, 10% or 15% might be them doing their own stories and adding that touch points.
Speaker 1:Customer service reps. You are out of luck. If you are a ESR rep, a customer service rep, if you're answering the, you're taking phones at a very basic level. That's actually being replaced. Today, I was actually called by a roofing company and I couldn't tell if it was AI or not, and they literally sat me on the phone and I'm trying to figure out like wait, are you a human? In our cleaning business, we now use the ability to use AI to pick up the phone and really talk to a person and book the cleanings for them as well. So I started my journey in technology literally as a customer service rep, at $9 an hour, taking phone calls. So if that's all you do think about that, you will be replaced.
Speaker 1:These are roles where AI can step in and actually do the job sometimes faster, cheaper and literally at scale. If you think about it. Chatgpt, for example, can already write a lot of these things for us. They can translate language, they can generate customer service replies, and it's only getting better. So it's not just about blue collar jobs anymore. This list even shows white collar jobs. Knowledge-based jobs are vulnerable as well, so especially if you rely on digital, whether it's communication, whether it's inputs or whether it's data. So these are some of the top 40 jobs that are most likely to be replaced by AI.
Speaker 1:Now let's talk about the bottom 40 jobs. These are the ones that are least likely to be replaced by AI, at least anytime soon, and these roles require and share three distinct key factors. So number one, the most important they require physical labor, meaning that a human absolutely has to go out and do their job. They involve a level of human touch or human involvement, but then also a level of emotional intelligence as well. And, last but not, unpredictable environment. So meaning things won't ever be the same. It won't be the same task done the same way at the same manner. They are repetitive tasks. So these things are required for these three fields. They exist in a chaotic or pretty much unpredictable format or environment, so meaning it won't be the same way to do it. It is not repetitive. It requires a higher level of emotional intelligence and requires a human involvement. So the top 40 was absolutely different from the bottom 40 companies with the lowest AI score, so let's dive in.
Speaker 1:So number one they require physical labor or they require physical presence. You usually need a person to be there. It can't be outsourced to a robot or it can't be outsourced to AI. Number two they involve human touch or they need to have emotional intelligence. And number three it's not a recurring task and it's usually unpredictable environments.
Speaker 1:So let's dive into the list. So, nursing assistants, phlebotomists you physically need someone to take your blood. You physically need someone to draw blood from your veins. Think about it. When we just spoke about the key trait, emotional intelligence was one of them. So if we think about those two job titles, you need to have a level of emotional intelligence. So if someone is drawing your blood and you say ouch, or it's not the right vein or it's not getting enough blood, you need a level of human involvement there.
Speaker 1:Right, some of these other people on this list or some of these other job titles construction workers, massage therapists, firefighters, roofers, tire builders, dishwashers and obviously I have one of my favorite up here we have cleaning companies up here. People like, oh, won't robots eventually come and take over cleaning companies? No, but you do need automation in order to run, grow and scale the business. But when it comes to the actual labor unless you're going to have Rosie the robot come in and clean your home if you guys know that Jetson's reference. It is not going to happen.
Speaker 1:So think about it. Maids and house cleaning companies when you go into a house it is normally chaotic. It's not a repetitive task. You need a human involvement. You need a level of emotional intelligence. Am I going over this? Am I going under this? Am I moving these things? You got laundry, wash and fold, water treatment, bridge and lock tenders, lodging equipment operators, cement builders, what else? This list goes on and on and on. But if you think about the level of involvement on a lot of these tire changers right, a lot of these job titles, it requires a high level of human involvement, emotional intelligence, and they aren't repetitive or predictable tasks. Now let's think about it. Ai is absolutely amazing, but let's be smart. Ai can install a roof or calm a patient down during surgery or clean our homes. These roles are safe because they require a hands-on, human and sometimes care approach, and the cost of replacing a human with a robot to do some of these tasks are way out of the budget and right now it makes sense to keep humans in a lot of these roles because they can generate the revenue for the businesses.
Speaker 1:What does all this information mean for you guys, as you're listening to this episode or watching it. So, number one if your job is high risk or if your job is on the high risk list, what do you do? Number one you can't panic, but you can't stay stagnant forever. You know what's coming. You see the writing on the wall. You are hearing it, you're seeing it every single day. People were talking about it. I would say start learning how to leverage AI in your everyday businesses and their everyday jobs. If you are working a job, learn how to leverage some of these learning models so that you could be more efficient, so that people can say, oh, you are irreplaceable, because that's going to be the next phase of business finding people who can learn the languages and actually leverage that in order to operate the businesses at a scalable weight. So here's the real question what the hell do you do with all this information? If your job is on the high risk list, I need you to start to learn how to leverage AI in your everyday business. That's number one Learn the skill sets, learn the language model, so at least you could have a competitive advantage over your peers. Number two you can't panic, but then you also can't stay stagnant either. We see the writing on the walls. We hear it every day. We're seeing the pace that these things are growing at and we got to stay ahead of the times. If your job title is on the bottom 40, does that mean you can't be replaced? That is not true. My wife is a mental health counselor, she's a therapist and she was literally replaced, not by AI, but just in general. So do not think just because your job won't be replaced by AI it can't just be outsourced or even just removed completely. So do not believe that you are untouchable.
Speaker 1:I Now. What this does give you is more time to think. It does give you more breathing room. So this is when you start to use that time to future-proof your career. So you start by adding digital skills, digital assets, learning about automation or even starting a business, like we did. We were able to start our cleaning business back in 2017, and we've been able to scale it to over seven figures. Before, ai was even a dimension. Now that it is, you guys should be able to start a business and scale it a lot faster using the tools and resources that we have today.
Speaker 1:But here's a question that everyone should be asking themselves at this point how do I tell if my job is vulnerable to AI. Do you do mostly digital work? That's number one. Are things that you're doing repetitive? That's number two. And could chat, gbt or robot do 80% of my work? That's number three. If the answer is yes to two out of those three, maybe three out of the three you might be in trouble. But here's how to flip it. Here's how you make yourself AI proof. Focus on creativity that's number one.
Speaker 1:Problem solving Owners and just people in general humans will pay to have their problems solved. So if there's a problem that can be solved, you can absolutely do it. I was talking to a student the other day and they said, yeah, I can use AI to build a logo for me, but I'd rather have somebody to do it. There was a problem they didn't want to learn AI and they hired someone to do it. So there'll always be a space for people to solve problems by using their creativity. And again, get good at using AI as a tool and a resource and do not be afraid of it, and build a tech stack of strategy and communications while using these tools as well.
Speaker 1:Most of the people who listen to our show are nine to five or side hustlers, and they are always looking and trying to grow and wanting to do something bigger. But the game is shifting, guys. If you're not learning, you're not growing. But you need to learn how to use AI. In whatever you're doing today, whether it's to automate outreach to your clients or speed up your content creation, you're leaving time and money on the table by not leveraging these tools that we have at our disposal Now.
Speaker 1:Ai is not coming to replace everyone. It's only coming to replace those who do not utilize it, those who do not adapt to it. And if you could take your human advantage and pair that with AI, use your story, your perspective, your skill sets, your knowledge, with the smart tools, you will have the ability to win, because if you try to outwork a machine, you will absolutely lose. So ask yourself where am I headed today? What can I double down on? That makes me more human, more adaptable, more relatable.
Speaker 1:So we appreciate you guys for tuning in. So here's your homework for this week. I want you to write down one thing Look at your own role, at your job or at your business, and ask yourself what is one part of this role that I can automate to AI that might be lead follow-up, part of this role that I can automate to AI. That might be lead follow-up, that might be nurturing, that might be communications, that might be email sequence or even content creation. Just start there, guys, and if this episode sparked anything with you, share it with one friend. Don't forget to like, subscribe and share it, guys.
