LADbible features Anik Devaughn's five jobs safe from AI, alongside an Elon Musk warning

LADbible, one of the world's largest social publishers, picked up Anik Devaughn's five jobs safest from AI, setting his builder's-eye list against an Elon Musk warning about the AI job market.

On 27 July 2026, LADbible, one of the world's largest social publishers, ran Anik Devaughn's list of the five jobs most likely to survive AI, framing it against an Elon Musk warning about a shrinking, AI-driven job market. Where the Musk angle leans toward alarm, Devaughn's take, drawn from building AI agents every day, is a map of where human work moves rather than vanishes.

His five categories, as the piece lays them out: the connectors who jump between domains (product managers, founders, strategists); creative roles that depend on taste built from lived experience; work whose product is trust (nurses, therapists, negotiators); the trades, where every site is improvised against something nobody documented; and the people who supervise AI.

The throughline is a single distinction he keeps returning to: AI takes the execution and leaves the judgment. The safe work is the work you cannot fully specify, only judge.

AI works well inside a domain, but it can't jump between them.
