AI cannot replace all jobs, says expert: 3 types of careers that could survive the automation era
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the global job market, experts are urging young people to focus on careers that are less likely to be automated. According to PwC's latest report, roles in manual trades, creative fields, and AI-related sectors are expected to remain in demand. While AI is boosting productivity and offering higher salaries in tech-savvy industries, it's also reducing reliance on traditional degrees. Instead, employers are placing more value on practical skills and continuous learning. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads AI's Growing Influence on the Job Market Three Career Paths That Remain Resilient Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries across the globe, young people preparing for their careers are being advised to take a closer look at job roles that are likely to thrive in an AI-dominated future. With automation on the rise and traditional roles evolving rapidly, the nature of work is shifting—and understanding where human skills still outmatch machine capabilities is becoming to a global report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the integration of AI into the workplace is accelerating across industries, especially in IT, financial services, and professional services. These sectors are not only adapting to AI but also reaping benefits from it, with professionals in AI-skilled jobs witnessing a 56% increase in average wages in 2024—up from a 25% jump the year Chief Economist, Barret Kupelian, explained in a BBC Radio 5 Live interview that AI is already impacting working lives across the board. He noted a significant and consistent rise in the demand for AI-related skills, particularly in industries that have welcomed the technology. However, he emphasized that AI is more likely to augment rather than entirely replace many job functions, particularly those requiring human highlighted three types of roles young people should consider to remain valuable in the job market:Traditional manual roles—such as plumbers, electricians, and decorators—remain difficult for AI to replicate due to their reliance on physical labor and problem-solving in dynamic environments. Kupelian remarked that current AI technologies are not advanced enough to replace jobs involving intensive manual that rely on creativity and complex decision-making—such as designers, artists, strategists, and writers—are also less susceptible to automation. According to Kupelian, these roles require 'a high degree of judgement and creativity' and involve 'bespoke skills' that digital tools struggle to some jobs are being displaced, others are being created. Positions in AI development, data science, machine learning, and ethical AI oversight are gaining traction. These roles not only offer higher salaries but are also essential in shaping how AI is applied across sectors. PwC's findings show that businesses integrating AI see faster revenue growth, signaling demand for professionals who understand and work with the distinguishes the jobs most vulnerable to automation is their reliance on repetition, structured input, and limited decision-making. Positions that do not require empathy, intuition, manual labour or complex human judgment are at greater risk of being this shift is also opening up new opportunities. As basic tasks are automated, professionals can focus more on strategy, innovation, and human-centered problem solving. The key to staying ahead in this changing job market lies in developing the ability to work alongside AI—leveraging its strengths while applying uniquely human skills that machines still can't replicate.

Should McLaren focus on one driver in title battle?
Canadian Grand Prix Venue: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal Dates: 13-15 June Race start: 19:00 BST on Sunday Coverage: Live commentary of first practice, third practice and qualifying on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2, with FP2 on Sports Extra. Race is on BBC Radio 5 Live; live text updates on BBC Sport website and app Advertisement Formula 1 heads back to North America this weekend for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. There is now some daylight at the top of the drivers' standings between the McLaren drivers and the rest with Oscar Piastri 10 points ahead of team-mate Lando Norris, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen a further 39 points behind Norris. Before the race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, BBC Sport F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your latest questions. Should McLaren be focusing on one driver for the title? We have seen other teams be dominant at the beginning of a season and slip back later on. - Luke This debate is an interesting one. Advertisement On one side, teams often receive criticism when they impose team orders and favour one driver over another. On another, the same can happen when they have two evenly matched drivers, both in a title fight, and they split the points between them against a rival who is the only driver challenging from another team. The second is clearly the case this year. For parallels in history, one can look back, for example, to 1986, when the Williams was the fastest car but Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet made a pair of warring team-mates and McLaren's Alain Prost drove a wonderful season to slip through the middle and claim the title in a dramatic final race in Australia. Advertisement Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are - so far - very much not Mansell and Piquet. Relations between them are good and the intra-team battle is being conducted in a way for which all teams would wish. McLaren don't really have a choice at the moment but to conduct this season as they are so far doing. Norris and Piastri have contracts that guarantee them equal treatment, and as a team McLaren's philosophy is to allow free competition between their drivers. The one proviso is that they remember they are driving for a team and that, from time to time, they may be asked to do something that maximises the team's interests but perhaps not their own. Advertisement McLaren are approaching this with a philosophy of openness. Keep talking. Don't let anything go unsaid. Be honest. If an issue comes up, it'll because no one had thought of it. Not because of any attempt to conceal. They accept that the drivers are likely to clash, but they believe that, because of their approach, they will be able to handle that, too. So far, it's working. They accept that Max Verstappen is a real threat, even that there is a risk he could 'do a Prost'. But as Piastri put it in a BBC Sport interview in Monaco: "It is a possibility, yes. But, on both sides of the garage here, we want to win because we've been the best driver, the best team, including against the other car in the team. You always want to earn things on merit and you want to be able to beat everyone, including your team-mates. Advertisement "So that gives Lando and I the best chance of our personal goals of trying to become drivers' world champion, while also achieving the main result for the team, which is the constructors' championship. "If we do get beaten by Max, of course that would hurt, but we would know that we both had the same opportunity, we were racing everybody out there and that's just how it panned out. "For us it's the most straightforward, the fairest way of going racing and that's what we've asked for." Has the Franco Colapinto swap at Alpine backfired? He does not seem to have been much of a step over the less experienced Jack Doohan. - Tim It would be going quite far to say that it has backfired after just three races, but it's true to say that it's hard to discern any major difference between Colapinto's performance and Doohan's before him. Advertisement When executive adviser - and de facto team boss - Flavio Briatore brought Colapinto in, he said he wanted him to "be fast, not crash and score points". So far, the Argentine has failed to meet that target on every level. Colapinto had a significant crash on his debut weekend at Imola. In his three qualifying sessions so far, he is 0.392 seconds on average slower than team-mate Pierre Gasly, compared with Doohan's 0.366secs over the first six races. And, like Doohan, he has scored no points. Colapinto has another couple of races before he reaches the five Alpine's statement announcing his elevation to the race seat said he would have before the situation was reassessed - a deadline Briatore immediately rejected as soon as he spoke in public about the swap. Advertisement What happens next is anyone's guess. Why is the last chicane in the Canadian Grand Prix so difficult, causing many drivers to hit the 'Wall of Champions'? - Christopher The concrete wall on the exit of Turns 12 and 13 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve earned its nickname after Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve all crashed there in 1999. Many others - including Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button - have since followed suit. It's tricky because it is approached from very high speed, drivers have to bounce over the kerbs to be fast, and if they misjudge that, there is a wall waiting to collect them on the outside, with no run-off area. Advertisement Put that combination together, and it's no wonder drivers crash there. Donington Park hosted the 1993 European Grand Prix, a race won by Ayrton Senna in one of his greatest performances. It was the last time a circuit other than Silverstone staged an F1 race in the UK [Getty Images] With Spain likely having two races next season and Italy having had two for the last few years, I find it odd that the UK hasn't had more than one at different tracks in a season since 1993. Considering the majority of the teams are based here, the massive F1 fanbase that Britain has and the very good attendances Silverstone gets every year, why do you think the UK has not been considered to host more than one? - James Two reasons - money and circuit specification. Imola returned to the calendar in the pandemic year of 2020, and a way was found to keep it on afterwards because the local region of Emilia-Romagna and the Italian government saw its promotional value and found the sanctioning fee. Hence the event's rather convoluted and inelegant official title. Advertisement Of course, it didn't hurt that F1 chairman Stefano Domenicali is from Imola and was keen for the race to continue. In Spain, Barcelona has kept its place next year because it has a contract through 2026, while Madrid is entering the first year of its new contract. Again, state funding is involved in both events. Britain has two issues. One, while the country has many terrific race tracks, only Silverstone meets modern F1 standards. And there is no money for any of them to pay F1 to host a race. Making the British Grand Prix work on a financial basis is difficult enough for Silverstone as it is. On top of that, slowly but surely the idea of countries hosting more than one race is likely to die away, so it's highly unlikely there would be any appetite for another country to have two. Advertisement Apart, that is, from the USA, where there are three races, in Austin, Miami and Las Vegas, because it is such a large and important marketplace for the sport's commercial rights holders, Liberty Media. Would competition be more level across all teams, and expenditure lower if rules existed for longer periods without change? - Matthew Expenditure is set by the budget cap. It makes no difference what the rules are, teams will spend to that limit and no more. As for keeping the rules in place for a longer period, yes, everyone accepts that the field closes up the longer a set of regulations remains in place. You can see that this year, when the field is probably more compact in terms of time from front to back than it has ever been. Advertisement But it is part of the DNA of F1 to change the rules every few years. Often it's because there is a feeling the cars need to be slowed down, or changed in character in some ways; sometimes it's because it has been perceived that the engine formula needs to change. For 2026, it's all of those reasons. The new power-unit rules were conceived as a way of simplifying the engines and attracting the VW Group into F1. After Audi committed, Ford and General Motors followed suit. Having created a new power-unit design, with a much greater proportion of its performance derived from the electrical part of the engine, the chassis rules needed to be changed to ensure the cars worked holistically with that engine, and also to iron out some issues that were perceived to have arisen with the existing ones. Advertisement The process of refining the 2026 chassis regulations has not been without its difficulties, to say the least, and there are questions as to how successful the new rules will be. But that at least is why they're being introduced.

Carlos Alcaraz stuns tennis legends with historic French Open final win
Tennis icons were quick to hail champion Carlos Alcaraz and runner-up Jannik Sinner after their historic French Open final. The 22-year-old Spaniard fought back from two sets down to win 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (10-2), saving three championship points in the fourth set. The epic contest lastet five hours and 29 minutes, making it the longest final ever at Roland Garros. The Italian will have to wait for a first French Open title while Alcaraz defended the trophy in Paris to win his second and take his Grand Slam tally to five. Unsurprisingly his legendary compatriot and the former King of Clay, Rafael Nadal, was quick to congratulate the winner but also hail the brilliant runner-up. Nadal posted on X: 'What an incredible @rolandgarros final! 🔥. Congratulations @carlosalcaraz! 🏆💪🏼. Congrats also @janniksin for the great battle 👏🏻.' Three-time French Open champ Mats Wilander said on TNT Sports: 'Absolutely incredible. The expectations are really high when these guys face off because they've played some incredible matches 'Every match they play is so brutally physical, it's emotional, the tennis they're playing is unbelievable. 'The fact they can keep going for 5-and-a-half hours on a clay court at this level, because the level at the end was absolutely ridiculous. I cannot believe how lucky we are that we're going to have this rivalry. 'These guys have taken our sport to another level. I never thought I would say that after the big three of Rafa, Roger and Novak, it's hard to believe they can do this.' Greg Rusedski declared the match the greatest Grand Slam final he has ever witnessed, saying on BBC Radio 5: 'We said it was going to be a classic – and it really was. 'It is the greatest Grand Slam final I've ever seen. 'The emotion from Carlos Alcaraz is just unbelievable. He is down there hugging his mum, his dad and his brother. 'Let's spare a thought for Jannik Sinner though. This must be immensely painful, having had those three championship points. He is handling the situation very well but this must be a bitter disappointment for him.' More Trending Former US Open champion Marin Cilic praised the immense standard on show, posting on social media: 'One of the best 5th sets ever alongside Federer vs Nadal '08 Wimbledon + Djok vs Nadal AO 2012? Unbelievable level.' Speaking on court after his immense triumph, Alcaraz said: 'I want to start with Jannik. It is amazing the level you have, congratulations for an amazing tournament to you and your team. 'I know the hard work you put in. I know how hard you are chasing every tournament. I am sure you will be champion many, many times and it is a privilege to share the court with you and making history with you. 'I'm just really happy to be able to make history with you in this tournament, in other tournaments, you are a huge inspiration for everyone and myself. Good luck and all the best for what is coming.'

French Open semi-finals: Irate Sabalenka loses lead over Swiatek in first set - radio & text
Update: Date: 14:55 BST Title: Swiatek breaks to level first set Content: Sabalenka 4-4 Swiatek* But it is Iga Swiatek who takes the fifth point for another look at a break... And would you believe it, Aryna Sabalenka double-faults! From 4-1 down, Swiatek is back level in the first set. What a momentum swing. Update: Date: 14:54 BST Title: 'Sabalenka is getting a little bit frustrated with her serve' Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds Aryna Sabalenka is getting a little bit frustrated with her serve here. She is straining and I'm not sure whether she has seen that Iga Swiatek has gone back behind the baseline. She tends to lose patience when her opponent is able to extend the rallies over and over again, we saw that in the Indian Wells final. Update: Date: 14:53 BST Title: Post Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek Now it's Aryna Sabalenka shouting at her team. The world number one, despite retaining a position of authority in this first set, is beginning to feel the heat under the roof on Court Philippe Chatrier. After a double fault is followed by a miss, Sabalenka lets out a huge roar as she gets level and tries to psych herself up for anther couple of points. Update: Date: 14:51 BST Title: 'Swiatek has adjusted to the heaviness of these shots' Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds You can just tell that Iga Swiatek has adjusted to the heaviness of these shots from Aryna Sabalenka. She is reacting a lot better and her eyes are sending the reactions to her brain quicker. Update: Date: 14:50 BST Title: Swiatek holds serve Content: *Sabalenka 4-3 Swiatek That could be huge for Iga Swiatek. A first hold brings the defending champion within one game of Aryna Sabalenka for the first time. It's game on! Update: Date: 14:49 BST Title: 'Swiatek has just glanced up to her box quizzically' Content: Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek* Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds That's not an easy situation for Aryna Sabalenka at all. She thought she was up 5-1 and we could see the tension leaving her body for a second. Iga Swiatek has just glanced up to her box quizzically, asking what to do with her serve because she hasn't held serve as yet. I'm not sure whether she got any tactical advice. Update: Date: 14:49 BST Title: Post Content: Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek* A run of unforced errors from Aryna Sabalenka, who makes a really poor miss at the net, gives Iga Swiatek three chances to complete her first hold of serve. Sabalenka closes to within a point with a backhand into the corner. How Swiatek could do with this next point... Update: Date: 14:47 BST Title: Post Content: Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland Garros It's disappointing to see Court Philippe Chatrier not completely full for a match of this magnitude between the two biggest stars in the women's game. There are gaps in the posh seats closest to the action, as well as empty sections in the top part of the lower bowl. Tickets at Roland Garros have increased slightly this year, with the main show-court costing either €330 (£280) or €445 (£375) for today's action. Perhaps those lucky enough to afford them are saving their energy for French hope Lois Boisson later... Update: Date: 14:46 BST Title: Swiatek hits back again Content: Sabalenka 4-2 Swiatek* Iga Swiatek strikes back... again! The defending champion may have not managed to hold serve yet, but she is at least getting stuck in to Aryna Sabalenka's now. There is still a lot of work to do but, crucially, it means she is not out of this first set. Update: Date: 14:44 BST Title: Break point Swiatek Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Iga Swiatek dials up the pressure by reaching break point, which Aryna Sabalenka swiftly dismisses with a powerful first serve. Swiatek then fires back with a blistering backhand return to prevent Sabalenka escaping to a 5-1 lead, before forcing a second break point. Update: Date: 14:41 BST Title: Deuce on Sabalenka serve Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Iga Swiatek is having a stern word with herself between points as she desperately searches for some rhythm out there. Aryna Sabalenka thinks she has wrapped up a hold with a brutal ace at 40-30 but a late let call by the chair umpire means her joy is short-lived. Swiatek capitalises, taking a free swing at the end of a game she thought she had already lost to reach deuce. Update: Date: 14:41 BST Title: 'Swiatek has adjusted her return stance' Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds Interestingly enough, Iga Swiatek has adjusted her return stance. She is now standing a few feet further back behind the baseline, allowing herself more time to react to Aryna Sabalenka's serve. It is the same thing she did against Elena Rybakina when she was down 6-1 2-0 - and we all know how that ended. Update: Date: 14:36 BST Title: Sabalenka restores double break lead Content: *Sabalenka 4-1 Swiatek Frustration for Iga Swiatek, but relief for Aryna Sabalenka just as it had begun to look as though her opponent had stolen the momentum - or at least part of it. Swiatek nets on the second break point to put Sabalenka back in absolute control. Update: Date: 14:35 BST Title: 'Glimpses of a strategy from Swiatek' Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds We are catching glimpses of a strategy here from Iga Swiatek. She is using her backhand inside-out into Aryna Sabalenka's forehand. Sabalenka's forehand is a huge weapon, but in Madrid and Rome it was a little bit awry and shaky at times. Swiatek has not only arrived on the board, she has also arrived in this match. Update: Date: 14:35 BST Title: Break points Sabalenka Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Perhaps I spoke too soon... Iga Swiatek may have gained a foothold on Aryna Sabalenka's serve, but she continues to struggle to handle pressure in her own games. A double fault gifts Sabalenka three break points for a 4-1 lead. Update: Date: 14:33 BST Title: How much can stars glean from practice sessions? Content: Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland Garros Intense rivalries are what make sport tick - we all know that. Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka have created the pre-eminent duel of this WTA era, having dominated the tour since Ashleigh Barty retired three years ago. Getting a closer look at your main rival in practice sessions has become an increasing trend and it's interesting this pair have been sussing each other out as recently as a fortnight ago here. Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka practised on Court Simonne Mathieu before the tournament began So what can we read into that? "When you play with rivals, you try a few things out that you wouldn't in a match - just to see how they react," says former world number nine Andrea Petkovic, who is covering the semi-final for BBC Radio 5 Live. "Both of them will have gained some new knowledge in those practices. "But Roger Federer never really cared in practice and then 'whoopsie' turned it on in a match. So there has to be some caution with what happens." Update: Date: 14:32 BST Title: 'Swiatek should try to stay in rallies longer' Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Andrea PetkovicFormer world number nine on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds I do think Iga Swiatek is rushing a bit here. She should try to stay in the rallies longer. It would help her to take some pace out of these shots. You can just see some nerves creeping in. We have even seen her opt for a backhand on a ball that was landing on her forehand side. Update: Date: 14:32 BST Title: Swiatek gets one break back Content: Sabalenka 3-1 Swiatek* Yep, it feels as though Iga Swiatek has arrived now. An assured cross-court backhand hauls Aryna Sabalenka back from game point, and another sets up a second break point. This is the competitive match all inside Court Philippe Chatrier anticipated! After a return to deuce, Swiatek continues to frustrate Sabalenka by reaching a third break point and catches the line to get up and running. Update: Date: 14:27 BST Title: Sabalenka saves break point Content: *Sabalenka 3-0 Swiatek Another impressive winner from Iga Swiatek, hammering a forehand down the line to move level before arriving at a first break point. She's unable to take her first opportunity, but this is much more promising from the former world number one. Update: Date: 14:25 BST Title: Post Content: Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Roland Garros Blimey. Sabalenka means business. The pace of her returns means time is being taken away from Swiatek. And she does not like being hurried. Sabalenka is not just simply a ball-basher these days, though. She is illustrating that by coming forward and showing some touch.

How Jack Draper could land French Open title after 'clinical' Joao Fonseca win
Jack Draper was 'very clinical' in his 6-2 6-4 6-2 victory over Joao Fonseca – and is now has a genuine shot of winning the French Open. The British tennis star has taken his game on clay to another level and next faces Alexander Bublik in the fourth round of singles at Roland-Garros. Traditionally, British players have struggled on the red dirt and not even the legendary Andy Murray was able to land a French Open title in his career. But with no Rafael Nadal to compete with, the path to Roland-Garros glory could be somewhat simpler for world No.5 Draper in Paris. Here's why… Draper was at his very best in his straight-sets victory over Brazilian teenager Fonseca, who is tipped for a massive future in the sport. 'Jack Draper has been flawless,' former American tennis player Ryan Harrison said on commentary duties for BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra. 'All the pressure [was] on Joao Fonseca since the word go. He [was] trying to change his positioning but it [seemed] like he is searching for answers. 'Draper has been very clinical. I'm so impressed with how Jack Draper [was] using that forehand down the line behind Fonseca.' Draper will be a huge favourite in his next match at Roland-Garros, with the British No.1 set to face Kazakhstan's world No.62 Bublik. The 23-year-old was previously on a collision course with Alex de Minaur but the Australian ninth-seed suffered a shock second-round exit to Bublik. Draper has faced Bublik twice on the ATP Tour to date and won both of their meetings in straight sets, most recently in Adelaide last year. This is where things start to get a little tricky for Draper. If he wins in the fourth round, as expected, he's projected for a quarter-final showdown with Jannik Sinner. Analysis from Metro's dedicated tennis reporter Liam Grace… Draper would surely be incredibly fired up for a quarter-final clash with Sinner at Roland-Garros. The British star would be seeking revenge after Sinner eliminated him in the US Open semi-finals last year – one of the biggest matches of his career to date. While Sinner is the world No.1, Draper would be facing the Italian at a really good time. Sinner has impressed at this year's French Open – but he's only played one event in three months after his temporary ban from the sport. Draper is remarkably fit – so if he is able to take the match into four or five sets – he'd surely have a key advantage over Sinner in Paris. Sinner has previously lost to Draper – at Queen's Club four years ago in their only other meeting – which may give the Brit the confidence he needs to get the job done. Should he battle past Sinner, Draper would then be set for a projectedclash with Novak Djokovic, 38, who despite his huge tally of 24 Grand Slam titles, has not been at his best in 2025 and clay is not his favoured surface. A triumph over Djokovic would set up a possible French Open final against the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who Draper knows how to beat, having won two of their six meetings to date. Draper secured a superb victory over Alcaraz at Indian Wells earlier this year before he went on the land the title at the prestigious tournament. While Alcaraz would be the favourite – and won their most recent meeting in Rome – Draper is capable of beating him if he produces his best tennis. Tennis legend John McEnroe has been left blown away by Draper's performances at the French Open this year and feels he could finish his career with a number of Grand Slam titles. More Trending Speaking after Draper's impressive second-round win over Gael Monfils, McEnroe told TNT Sports: 'I tell you one thing, he won a lot of fans tonight with the way he played. 'It's one of those matches that you're proud to be a tennis player… You see Draper maturing, playing better and better on the spot. 'I mean, I'll be surprised if he doesn't win multiple majors. It is incredible how much he's improving and how great a player he's become.' Former British No.1 Tim Henman added: 'There's no doubt that there are people ahead of him in terms of lists of favourites, but if he keeps playing like that, he is most definitely in the conversation [to win the French Open].'
