"Artificial intelligence has yet to cause widespread job losses but the federal
government has warned that telemarketers, advertising staff and accountants are
among the occupations “most exposed” to being replaced by the technology.

According to a first-of-its-kind national report, people in the more exposed
occupations are more likely to be women and have university qualifications.

They include clerks, retail managers, software programmers, accountants,
receptionists and advertising and marketing professionals, according to data
from Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) contained in the AI and Employment in
Australia
 report.

Jobs deemed as the “least exposed” to AI displacement are filled by those with
the lowest level of university qualifications and the highest level of
vocational training, including tradespeople and aged care workers."
