I'm in research and development and no one talks seriously about innovation being handled by robots or computer programs more than using machine learning or databases to analyze specific datasets with human guidance.

But I agree the road is set - I just bought a robot vacuum cleaner with hopes
Of needing a bit less housecleaning.

In healthcare - diagnostics are the next frontier. Lab techs and specimen handling will fall.
In advertising - lots will go. AI can identify trends in ways humans can't, and unlike how others in this thread claim, AI can also do graphic design. You can give an AI program text like "a mountain with trees" and it will draw a mountain with trees. A unique one, never before seen.
In accounting - many of the big four are now investing. Lots of rule based behavior to automate.
In customer service - it'll be obvious how AI takes over.
In retail, it's only a matter of time before your food is prepared by robots - not in high end kitchens - but subway, McDonald's etc are all prime for it. In other traditional retail, they'll just have personal assistants who can manage most questions.
In banking and finance - tellers won't be needed, roboadvisors will handle investing, etc.
In trucking and taxi - the obvious
In journalism, there are already AIs capable of writing synopsis type documents, it will be possible to have content created by AI in very short order.
In architecture AIs have been shown to be able to design homes from the ground up.
In movies even, it's concievable that an AI would generate a story and be able to animate it itself. No ones done this one yet, but there's been talk of it as a next good thesis or paper.
In warehousing - AI will take over unpacking and distribution.

The trades least likely to fall soon are the highly skilled, doctors for instance - or those that require manipulation dexterity - woodworking, construction, etc.

Re movies and art, can AI tell jokes? Make us laugh or cry?
