While all the sectors you mentioned may experience changes due to automation and AI, certain types of jobs are more susceptible to reduction or elimination. Here’s a brief overview:

1. **Retail and Healthcare**: Automation can reduce jobs in retail through self-checkout systems and online shopping. In healthcare, certain administrative tasks may be automated, but direct patient care roles may see less reduction.

2. **Maintenance and Manual Jobs**: Jobs that involve routine maintenance and manual labor tasks, such as assembly line jobs, are highly susceptible to automation.

3. **Media and Programming**: While some aspects of media and programming may be automated (like basic coding or content generation), the demand for creative and complex problem-solving roles is likely to persist.

4. **Delivery and Collections**: Jobs in delivery and collections may be significantly reduced due to advancements in robotics and autonomous vehicles.

Among these options, **maintenance and manual jobs** are often most at risk due to the nature of their tasks being repetitive and easily automated. However, all sectors will ultimately see some level of impact from AI and automation.
