Experts examine 180 million job postings to reveal which roles will be most impacted by AI: Findings to help future-proof your career

As artificial intelligence continues its rapid rise from science fiction to office staple, one expert has put the numbers behind the growing anxiety and revealed which jobs are actually being replaced.

Revealera and Bloomberry Chief Technology Officer Henley Wing Chiu analyzed an astonishing 180 million global job postings from January 2023 to October 2025 to uncover the jobs most affected by AI disruption. His findings, shared on LinkedIn, paint a selective but revealing picture of how technology is reshaping the job market.

Creative sectors will be hit hardest

If you work in a creative profession, data can be uncomfortable. According to Chiu’s analysis, the number of jobs for CG artists in 2025 will decrease by 32.7% from the previous year, while job openings for writers and photographers will decrease by 27.9% and 28.1%, respectively.

“AI is not making entire professions extinct,” Chiu explains. “AI is dividing professions,” he says, with execution-based creative roles such as copywriters, VFX artists, and technical designers the most vulnerable to automation.

The report also points to attrition among journalists, videographers, and compliance professionals, suggesting that repetitive or production-intensive tasks are the easiest targets for AI tools.

Not all roles are shrinking. Chiu’s data shows that strategic, empathetic, and leadership-focused work is holding steady or growing. “AI is having a selective impact,” he says. “Jobs that require empathy, strategy, and complex problem-solving will keep you resilient.” Machine learning engineers topped the list of fastest-growing jobs with a 39.6% increase in job openings. Other winners include pharmacists (+13.5%), mortgage loan officers (+14.4%) and legal directors (+20.6%). Interestingly, director-level positions across industries from software engineering to real estate have increased by 14 to 23 percent, while senior executive positions have decreased by only 1.7 percent overall.

Why creativity never dies

Chiu’s analysis suggests that AI is not erasing creativity, but redefining what it means to be creative. Although content creation and visual production can now be rapidly automated, human oversight, conceptual thinking, and taste are still important.

In his words, “its role in creative strategy is stable.” There is a difference between executing a design and making a decision. why That design should exist in the first place. This split between creative thinking and creative action may become the defining feature of the next era of work. Instead of competing with AI, those who can leverage AI will have an advantage.

For students, professionals, or anyone rethinking their future in the age of automation, Chiu’s findings provide a roadmap to lean into roles that use uniquely human skills. Empathy, leadership, negotiation, and judgment, the very traits that machines cannot easily imitate, may be the most valuable currency in the modern job market.

While not every job faces an imminent AI takeover, the data highlights one truth. That means adaptability is the new job security.
