In July, Resume Now, a popular resume-building platform, released a list of “AI-proof” positions currently available in 2026. Keith Spencer, Resume Now career expert, told CNBC that the 10 jobs aren’t AI-proof “simply because they involve physical labor,” but because people skills and a significant level of human oversight are needed. First up on the list of 10 AI-proof jobs this year is firefighters, according to the findings. Rounding out the complete AI-proof list are roof bolters (mining), commercial pilots, fishing and hunting workers, and tree fallers. AdvertisementSpencer noted that all 10 AI-proof jobs have a fair amount of risk and physical labor, making them not the right fit for everyone.
