Reply to comment by Meg0510 in Lots of posts here talk about how AI advancements and automation are going to inevitably replace jobs. As someone without interest or acumen in programming or IT, what sort of "future-proof" field(s) should I be looking into as a way to maintain (for lack of a better term) viability? by doctordaedalus

There is no profit incentive to getting rid of chess players. This is not a good example for that reason. There will be a good reason for hospitals to get rid of radiologists if software can perform the job as well or better. The software can be licensed at a rate probably 1/100th the cost of a human radiologist with his/her retirement account, healthcare, dental, vision plan and plenty of other benefits. There is no incentive to get rid of chess players.
