Molecular Biologist
Molecular Biologists study how life works at the tiniest level - looking at genes, DNA, and proteins. They do lab work that helps develop new medicines, understand diseases, and improve crops and food.
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.
