AI Isn’t Replacing “All Jobs” — But 180 Million Openings Reveal Which Ones Are at Risk

A global analysis of 180 million job postings from 2023–2025 shows creative execution and compliance roles declining fastest, while AI-related and leadership positions rise.

November 2025 — San Francisco. 

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the labor market — but not as uniformly as many fear. A new data-driven study analyzing 180 million job postings from January 2023 to October 2025 reveals that while global hiring fell 8 percent year-over-year in 2025, the impact of AI is sharply uneven across professions.

The research, conducted by Henley Wing Chiu, co-founder of Revealera, used millions of job listings scraped directly from company websites to map hiring trends across 650 standardized job titles worldwide. The findings show that AI is hollowing out specific execution-heavy roles — such as copywriters, CG artists, and photographers — while boosting demand for machine-learning engineers, senior leaders, and influencer marketers.

Creative Roles Split: Strategy Holds, Execution Falls

Among the steepest declines were:

• CG artists −33%

• Photographers −28%

• Writers (including copywriters and editors) −28%

In contrast, creative directors and producers — those guiding overall strategy — remained stable. The report concludes that AI is squeezing execution but sparing direction, highlighting that generative tools can replace production tasks faster than human judgment or conceptual design.

Compliance, Sustainability, and Medical Scribes Under Pressure

AI wasn’t the only factor. Corporate compliance and sustainability roles saw an accelerated downturn:

• Compliance officers −29%

• Sustainability managers/directors −31 to −35%

  
  

In the medical field, medical scribes dropped −20%, likely linked to the rise of AI-powered note-taking systems that transcribe doctor-patient conversations in real time. However, related roles like medical coders remained stable, suggesting AI’s impact is selective, not systemic.

AI Jobs Boom: Machine Learning Engineers Up 40%

At the opposite extreme, machine-learning engineers led all growth, rising +40% in 2025 on top of a +78% surge in 2024. Supporting infrastructure roles — robotics engineers, applied scientists, and data-center engineers — also grew steadily, reflecting the broader industrialization of AI.

Leadership hiring proved surprisingly resilient:

• Senior executives (VPs/C-suite) −1.7%

• Mid-level managers −5.7%

• Individual contributors −9%

Companies appear to be trimming middle management while strengthening top-level decision-making. As the report notes, AI tools now allow executives to prototype ideas directly — reducing dependency on large execution teams.

Influencer Marketing Emerges as a Bright Spot

While traditional marketing channels stagnate, “creator economy” roles shine. Influencer-marketing specialists grew +18%, continuing a two-year trend. With AI flooding search and ad spaces with synthetic content, consumers increasingly trust peer-to-peer voices over brand messaging — a shift marketers are quick to monetize.

Tech and Data Jobs Show Resilience

Despite fears of AI replacing programmers, software-engineering roles remain stable, with back-end and infrastructure specialists faring best. Data analysts and managers even saw slight increases (+0.5% to +1.1%), as AI improved efficiency rather than eliminated the need for human oversight.

Customer service representatives declined only −4%, suggesting that empathy and nuanced problem-solving remain difficult for automation to replicate. As one finding put it: “AI can answer, but not understand.”

Conclusion: AI’s Impact Is Selective, Not Universal

The analysis concludes that AI has not triggered a global employment collapse, but rather a structural reshaping of the workforce. Jobs emphasizing empathy, creativity, or complex reasoning are holding firm, while repetitive or standardized roles erode fastest.

“AI is not replacing humans wholesale — it’s reallocating value,”

“Strategy, judgment, and human connection remain the strongest job securities.”

AI 并未取代所有工作：

全球 1.8 亿招聘信息揭示真正受冲击的岗位

2023–2025 年全球招聘数据分析显示：创意执行与合规岗位下滑最快，AI 工程与高层领导职位逆势上升。

2025 年 11 月 · 旧金山报道 

人工智能正深刻重塑全球就业市场，但影响并非一刀切。 基于 2023 年至 2025 年 10 月的 1.8 亿条全球招聘数据，研究者发现：尽管 2025 年全球招聘总量同比下降 8%，但 AI 的冲击呈现出强烈的结构性分化。

研究由 Revealera 联合创始人 Henley Wing Chiu 主导，基于来自企业官网的原始招聘数据，对 650 类标准化职位进行统计与分类，揭示出——AI 并非取代所有职业，而是集中挤压“执行型”岗位，同时推高 AI 工程、领导管理及创作者经济相关岗位的需求。

创意岗位两极分化：执行被挤压，策略更稳健

跌幅最大的职业包括：

• CG 艺术家：−33%

• 摄影师：−28%

• 写作者（含文案、编辑）：−28%

相比之下，创意总监、制片人等战略岗位几乎未受影响。报告指出，AI 能生成内容，却难以取代判断与创意方向，这导致“执行下滑、策划坚挺”的分化格局。

合规、可持续与医学抄写员受压

报告显示，与 AI 关系间接的岗位同样下滑：

• 合规专员：−29%

• 可持续发展经理/总监：−31% 至 −35%

医学抄写员降幅达 −20%，可能与 AI 病历记录系统兴起有关；而医疗编码员、助理岗位基本持平。这表明 AI 的替代作用具有选择性，而非普遍性。

AI 工程师领跑增长榜

在增长榜首，机器学习工程师同比增长 +40%，延续了 2024 年 +78% 的高增速。 相关基础设施岗位如机器人工程师、应用科学家、数据中心工程师也持续走强。

层级结构同样出现差异：

• 高层管理：−1.7%

• 中层管理：−5.7%

• 基层执行：−9%

企业在收缩规模时更倾向补充决策岗位。随着高管能借助 AI 工具自行完成原型与分析，对中层和执行层的依赖下降。

“红人营销”成为市场亮点

传统营销趋缓，而红人营销岗位逆势增长 +18%。在 AI 内容充斥网络的环境下，用户更信任真实创作者，品牌因此加大投放。专家指出，这种“人际信任”正成为 AI 时代广告生态的新货币。

技术与数据岗位总体稳健

尽管“AI 取代程序员”的言论甚嚣尘上，软件工程岗位整体稳定，后端和基础设施类岗位表现更优。 数据分析师和数据管理专员微增 (+0.5% 至 +1.1%)，显示 AI 更多地提升效率，而非取代人才。 

客服代表仅下降 −4%，凸显共情与复杂问题解决仍是 AI 难以触及的领域。

结论：AI 的冲击是“选择性的”

研究总结道：AI 并未引发全球性失业潮，而是推动了岗位结构的重新分配。 具备创造力、共情力与判断力的职业依然稳固，而标准化、重复性强的岗位正被技术侵蚀。

“AI 并未取代人类，而是在重新定义价值。”

“策略、判断与人际连接，仍是最稳固的职业安全带。”
