AI could replace nearly 12% of US jobs, MIT study finds

Technology Dec 02, 2025

A new MIT and Oak Ridge study says AI could automate almost 12% of US jobs—impacting $1.2 trillion in wages.
The research highlights that states like Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee (not just tech hubs) are especially at risk.

Why should you care?

AI isn't just shaking up Silicon Valley—it's reaching into everyday jobs across the country.
Some states are already using a tool called Project Iceberg to see which roles might change and to help people get ready with new skills, so workers aren't caught off guard as job roles evolve.
