Careers at risk from AI: Which professions could disappear in Mexico?

The advancement of artificial intelligence, automation, and digital tools is transforming the labor and education market in Mexico. Careers currently considered high potential could face a significant decline in demand in the next decade.
This change not only represents a challenge for students and recent graduates, but also for educational institutions and employers, who must adapt to new technological demands and digital skills.
According to AI analysis and market trends, some careers are at risk of losing relevance due to automation and digital platforms:
- Public Accounting: Specialized software automates routine tasks such as financial reconciliations and reporting, reducing the need for traditional profiles.
- Graphic Design: Automated design tools allow the generation of visual content without professional training, affecting the demand for designers in standard projects.
- Web Development and Basic Programming: No-code platforms limit the need for programmers to simple functions, while advanced programming remains essential.
- Foreign Languages: Machine translators and AI applications are partially replacing the work of teachers and translators, especially in everyday communication.
- Music and Sound Production: Music production software and automated content creation are changing the industry, requiring composers and producers to adapt digitally.
- Telemarketing and Customer Service: Chatbots and virtual assistants have reduced the need for operational staff, handling inquiries more efficiently.
These changes reflect the need for constant updating and specialization in skills that are difficult to automate. Professionals who manage to combine technical knowledge with creativity and critical thinking will have greater opportunities to thrive in a technology-driven work environment.
