Most and least AI-proof jobs

Looks like Piglit may need to start brushing up on those dredge operator skills…

Microsoft released a study assessing jobs' vulnerability to being replaced by AI based on whether AI is currently being used for that work, how successfully it does so and how much of that occupation's work is accounted for by AI.

Most vulnerable:

1. Interpreters and translators (Score: 0.49, Number employed: 51,560)
2. Historians (0.48, 3,040)
3. Passenger attendants (0.46, 20,190)
4. Sales representatives of services (0.46, 1,142,020)
5. Writers and authors (0.45, 49,450)
6. Customer service representatives (0.44, 2,858,710)
7. CNC (computer numerical control) tool programmers: (0.44, 28,030)
8. Telephone operators (0.42, 4,600)
9. Ticket agents and travel clerks (0.41, 119,270)
10. Broadcast announcers and radio DJs (0.41, 25,070)

Least vulnerable:

1. Dredge operators (0.00, 940)
2. Bridge and lock tenders (0.00, 3,460)
3. Water treatment plant and system operators (0.00, 120,710)
4. Foundry mold and coremakers (0.00, 11,780)
5. Rail-track laying and maintenance equipment operators (0.00, 18,770)
6. Pile driver operators (0.00, 3,010)
7. Floor sanders and finishers (0.00, 5,070)
8. Orderlies (0.00, 48,710)
9. Motorboat operators (0.00, 2,710)
10. Logging equipment operators (0.01, 23,720)

Scientists Find an “Off Switch” for Cholesterol – And It Could Save Millions

“By shutting this “off switch,” immune cells called macrophages regain their ability to soak up cholesterol, potentially stopping heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and more before they start. The team also fingered nitric oxide synthase as an accomplice, hinting at a two-pronged drug strategy that could revolutionize treatment for millions.”
