Adaptability

Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities is a highly specialized industry with complex and nuanced requirements that involve significant human expertise. While there is potential for AI to assist in certain areas like data analysis and literature search, the core activities require interpretive, qualitative skills that are less amenable to automation. Regulatory barriers are moderate and the field demands a substantial investment in physical and academic infrastructure. Consequently, the risk of AI fully displacing this industry is quite low.
