Skills
AI-resilient: 2 of 5
- Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "laboratory"
- Yes: Live work with people · "bioremediation"
- No: Judgment someone is accountable for
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
