The new AI at Work Report 2025 published by Indeed suggests that more than a quarter (26 percent) of jobs posted on Indeed in the past year could be “highly” transformed by generative artificial intelligence apps.
Some 54 percent of jobs are likely to be “moderately” transformed.
The study suggests 46 percent of skills in a typical U.S. job posting are poised for “hybrid transformation.” Human oversight will remain critical when applying these skills, but GenAI can already perform a significant portion of routine work.
As you might guess, software development and other cognitive functions are most likely to be affected, while jobs with high human contact, emotional intelligence or physical elements will be least affected.
Consider nursing, which is relatively immune from wholesale substitution effects.
In contrast, many more of the software development functions are likely to be affected.
Of the close to 3,000 requirements analyzed, the two dimensions that most directly determine task
transformation are:
• Problem-solving ability (cognitive reasoning, applied knowledge, and practical judgment)
• Physical necessity (physical execution, such as home construction, home repairs, plumbing and electrical work)
We might guess that the effects will extend as AI is embodied in more machines, with robotaxis and autonomous driving vehicles providing a good example.
