It's already pointless to look for a profession that artificial intelligence won't affect: such fields will most likely simply cease to exist. It's much more important to choose an area where a person is truly interested in developing and to learn how to use new technologies in their work. This was stated by Anastasia Chuchalova, CEO of SuperJob.
I would not advise parents and teenagers to look for a profession that artificial intelligence will not affect. Such a profession will most likely not exist. We are seeing structural changes in the labor market: it's not individual professions that are changing, but the employment model itself. Along with people, digital performers are gradually appearing – autonomous AI agents that can take on individual tasks and functions.
According to Chuchalova, the question today is not how to hide from new tools, but how to integrate them into one's profession. AI agents are already beginning to take on individual tasks and functions, so human value will shift to where context, responsibility, critical thinking, and decision-making skills are needed.
The human role will remain especially high in engineering, medicine, research, education, managing complex systems, and creating new products. In these areas, not only knowledge is important, but also the ability to work with uncertainty, verify results, and understand where a machine can make mistakes.
Chuchalova emphasizes that a strong fundamental base will be the main advantage in the labor market. For engineers and natural science specialists, this means mathematics, physics, and chemistry; for humanities, it means systematic knowledge of their field, the ability to analyze facts, and draw conclusions.
We also see this in the SuperJob university rankings by graduate salary levels: employers recruit the best students directly from university and start competing for them even during their studies, and the starting salaries of graduates from top-ranked universities already exceed 300,000 rubles per month. Therefore, those who deeply understand their field and know how to use technology to enhance their expertise will win, not those who try to hide from AI.
