Geophysicist
Geophysicists study how the Earth works using physics and maths. They look for oil and metals, understand earthquakes and volcanoes, and help protect the environment by finding cleaner energy sources.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
