The Korea Employment Information Service (KEIS) has identified 406 jobs that artificial intelligence (A.I.) could soon replace.
The jobs were analyzed using "The Future of Employment," Oxford university professor Michael Osborne's research paper.
It focuses on factors such as how much delicacy, creativity, space and human involvement is needed in the tasks.
Jobs including concrete worker, butcher, security guard and delivery man were at the top of the list.
These jobs featured repetitive work, a lack of finesse, and needed minimum human communication. Jobs that required high levels of creativity, such as artists, photographers, writers and conductors, were least likely to be replaced even if A.I. competed with humans in the job market.
"According to a report from the 2016 Davos Forum's ‘The future of Jobs,' automation job replacement will start around 2020," said Park Ka-yeul, a KEIS researcher.
"However, A.I. will only replace repetitive work and sensible main decision-making will still remain exclusive to humans.
"It's beneficial for humans, because we can avoid hard manual labor and concentrate on more important decision-making."
