Jobs AI Will Replace
in 2026

The roles below all share the same shape: transactional, document-bound work with clearly-defined outputs. Read a contract, flag the risky clauses. Reconcile two ledgers. Triage a support ticket against a knowledge base. Generate a first-draft brief from a template and a fact pattern. These are exactly the tasks that large language models, paired with retrieval and tool use, now perform at or above the median human level.

We measure the time-to-impact in months, not years, because that's the cadence the data actually moves at. Anthropic's Economic Index, OpenAI's usage data, and the procurement signals from the firms that employ these roles all point to displacement curves measured in 6-to-30-month windows — not the 5-to-10-year framing you'll see in older reports.

This page is built to be an honest friend, not a sales deck. If your role is on the list, the next step isn't panic — it's a 2-minute assessment that tells you which adjacent roles your existing skills transfer to, and what concretely to learn next. How we score.
