I'm not American but I guarantee an AI could do over 95% of my job (techops/devops datacenter). It's only a matter of time until the upper pencil pushers realise this as well.
As an aside, I know my future isn't in IT anymore, looking for an exit atm.
About the only jobs I believe to be AI-resistant are trade jobs. Until robotics catches up with AI (in regards to how capable it is in replacing humans) there won't be much use for AI in the trades except maybe as a reference tool. That would still lower the pay of the job (little skill required, just ask the AI what to do next) but at least AI can't actually do the thing because you can't digitize the flow of water or the laying of tiles.
Research is also fairly AI resistant. You need people coming up with ideas and be able to verify anything AI says, and conduct thorough experiments.
