Social Policy Advisor
Social policy advisors help governments make decisions about things like schools, hospitals, housing and support for families. They research what people need and suggest laws and policies that make life better.
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.
