Leaders and researchers have predicted that a whole slew of industries will be radically upended by AI, from financial services to computer programming. But just because these human jobs will be changed, doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll be wiped from company headcounts. In fact, Indeed\u2019s chief economist, Svenja Gudell, believes those who are most exposed could stand to benefit from tech disruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sectors that are most exposed to AI right now are seeing the most growth in terms of demand for those jobs,\u201d Gudell recently said onstage at Fortune\u2019s Workplace Innovation Summit.<\/p>\n

The executive at the hiring platform uses software developers as an example. As advanced tools have evolved to write code, traditional developers are having a harder time finding jobs\u2014yet within that same industry, AI-fluent developers are experiencing a renaissance. Software development job postings on Indeed increased 14% year-over-year in April 2026, and more than 47% of those postings now mention AI, suggesting the growth is concentrated in roles that require working alongside the technology rather than competing with it. Employers, Gudell says, are also willing to splurge on professionals trained to thrive in the AI era.<\/p>\n

That premium is emerging against an otherwise sluggish backdrop. The U.S. unemployment rate sits at 4.3%, with fewer than one job opening per unemployed worker, and overall job postings are barely above their pre-pandemic baseline. Yet postings mentioning AI have surged more than 130% over the same stretch\u2014a divergence that has effectively split the labor market into AI-adjacent winners and everyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is creating a whole bunch of new jobs, and interestingly enough, if you are an AI software developer, things are looking quite good for you,\u201d Gudell continued. \u201cThere\u2019s a wage premium on your skills right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gudell is also honest about the flip side. Workplaces won\u2019t be the same in the AI era, and many employees are handwringing over the fate of their careers as mundane work tasks are automated, organizational charts are reimagined, and hiring slows. Roles such as sales representatives, historians, data scientists, and personal financial advisors are among the most affected by generative AI, according to Microsoft. And some employers, like Block and Cisco, have cited AI as the reason for their headcount reductions. The information sector\u2019s layoff rate has doubled over the past year to 2.4%\u2014the sharpest increase of any industry, which Indeed attributes in part to AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gudell has crunched the numbers, and the verdict is in: all roles across all industries will be affected by advanced tech. However, AI still isn\u2019t capable of taking over every job just yet\u2014and humans working in AI-exposed fields may actually be the best off in the shift. Indeed\u2019s 2025 AI at Work report found that while 26% of jobs could be \u201chighly\u201d transformed by generative AI and another 54% \u201cmoderately\u201d transformed, fewer than 1% of work skills can currently be performed by AI without human involvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur own research actually shows that AI will touch every single job out there,\u201d the chief economist explained. \u201cEvery job will be touched by AI\u2014some more so than others\u2014but at least currently, with today\u2019s technology, not a single job can be completely done by AI. You still need the human in the loop.\u201d<\/p>\n
