MOSCOW, March 16 – In an era where artificial intelligence reshapes workplaces, a human resources expert has outlined career paths she believes will remain vital and resistant to automation. Alla Zemshcheva advises graduates to look toward fields where human ingenuity and complex physical interaction are paramount.

For those drawn to medicine, she points to bioinformatics and genetic engineering. Technically minded students, she suggests, should consider managing unmanned systems in agriculture or industrial robotics. 'A massive talent shortage is already forming in these areas,' Zemshcheva told the RIAAMO information portal. 'In five years, this deficit will be severe.'

A second, equally resilient direction, she notes, lies in professions demanding deep empathy and emotional intelligence—areas where AI lacks fundamental capability. Clinical psychologists, rehabilitation specialists, teachers for children with special needs, and geriatricians will be perennially needed, she argues, 'for as long as humanity exists.'

Her most pointed guidance, however, concerns a fundamental shift in professional life. The concept of a single, lifelong career is definitively obsolete, Zemshcheva stated. Today's graduates should expect to change their field of work five to seven times. Consequently, the ability to learn new skills rapidly and adapt will become their primary advantage over narrowly specialized professionals of the past.
