The work of the blue collar will at least affect AI, Microsoft Research discovers.

In workplaces with blue collars there is a new shine for them when desktop workers are becoming more vulnerable to replacing artificial intelligence.
Microsoft He studied the connection between how certain workers rely on AI’s tools and potential impact on their profession, in a new report called “Professional Consequences of the Generative II”.
Researchers of the technological giant analyzed data from 200,000 pinnacted and talks that read privacy in the US between users and companion AI Chatbot, Microsoft Bing Copilot, gathered for nine months between January to September 2024.
Analysis published last week was focused on users looking for help from Copilot to complete the task defined by researchers as “user goals”. Meanwhile, AI, who performed the task in the conversation, was indicated by “AI Action”. This determined what work the generative II completed. In some cases, II gave instructions on how to complete the task.
“To illustrate the difference when the user tries to find out how to print the document, the user’s goal is to operate office equipment, while AI action is to train others,” the statement said.
Researchers have found that users most actively seek the help of AI in “Collection of Information, Writing and Communication with Others”, and these actions were also most successfully fulfilled by AI tasks.
“On the part of AI action, we see that AI often acts in an official role as a coach, advisor or teacher who collects information and explains it to the user.”
This was put in the production of such classes as translators, translators, historians, writers and trade representatives, at high risk of accepting II.
However, experts with blue collars, many of whom are engaged in physical work either with people or with cars, were the least likely to seek help from the II, and therefore were classified as a profession on which at least influence II.
These include roles such as dishwasher, massage therapists, roofs, maids and cleaners for farming.
Recent Report Gallup It has shown that these are mainly workers of white collars, increasing AUC, 27%often use AI at work, which is 12%since 2024. Industry with the most prolific users of AI were technology (50%), professional services (34%) and finance (32%)
Meanwhile, the frequent use of II in production and front -line workers for two years was flat, from 11% in 2023 to 9% in 2025, for Gallup.
Microsoft researchers have noted that their measurements were focused on large language models (LLMS), and other II apps may affect work and monitoring classes, such as truck management.
“AI really transformed the work of white collars, and the skills awards are dramatically shrinking,” CNBC Expert Ravin Jesuthasan said in an interview with CNBC Expert Ravin. “People need to be upgraded and transformed on a real scale and speed.”
He added: “If I am a plumber, we are a long way from a car that can replace me as a plumbing because a set of plumbing devices I have in my home looks quite different from yours, and so the robot’s ability can do it (little.) So there is much more stability.”
Here are the 10 best jobs with the least AI exposure:
- Phlebotomes
- Care assistants
- Dangerous Materials for Removal of Workers
- Assistants, paintings, plaster,
- Balm
- Plant operators and systems
- Oral and maxillofacial surgeons
- Automobile installers and repairmen
- Ship’s engineers
- Repair and Tire variers
Jesuthasan explained that the roles of the blue collar have developed over the past few decades and became more attractive career paths for young people, and with a low risk of II, jobs with blue collars will only be more popular.
“Two things: one-it (jobs with blue collars) is growing in demand, they are much more stable. But they are increasingly required by much more technological knowledge, so people who have gained these skills say,” This is not the way I work at the store, raising and wearing things. I actually work here really complex equipment. “
“Production work, which has been gloomy and dirty and rough in the past, is now actually pays incredibly good because it is a much more technical role.”
