In certain workplaces, AI is progressively replacing human employees, shedding light on the specific job sectors in Florida that are most susceptible to this transition.

According to a review by Resume Builder, by 2024, forty percent of businesses will utilize AI-powered interviews for recruitment purposes.
Before AI assesses factors like communication skills and suggests suitable candidates, job seekers may undergo interviews where they respond via text or video.
The survey also involved over 1,000 individuals engaged in the recruitment process within their respective organizations, with a majority believing that AI interviews could enhance the efficiency of hiring procedures.
Resume Builder reports that more than half of these professionals anticipate AI eventually supplanting human recruiters.
Police officers, skilled tradespeople, and registered nurses are among the professions in Florida where individuals are less apprehensive about potential job displacement by AI.
