The integration of artificial intelligence in everyday life has caused waves of fear in certain industries.

While most jobs aren’t likely to become robotic, some niche jobs are actually in danger of being taken over by AI.

Digital marketing data platform (un)Common Logic conducted a study, using Bureau of Labor Statistics data and several artificial intelligence studies, to find the cities with the most workers at risk of AI job displacement and the industries where AI poses the greatest threat.

And three of the top 10 metropolitan areas with the most workers at risk of AI job displacement are in Florida.

Here’s which cities in Florida made the list, where they rank and what “AI job displacement” means.

What does AI job displacement mean?

AI job displacement refers to jobs that are being replaced by automated systems made possible through developing artificial intelligence technology.

What types of jobs will AI affect the most?

AI usually replaces jobs that involve a lot of repetitive or straightforward tasks, like data entry, proofreading, bookkeeping and telemarketing jobs.

According to (un)Common Logic’s study, these jobs are at the highest risk for AI displacement (these are not the only jobs with risk for AI displacement):

  • Budget analysts
  • Loan officers
  • Accountants
  • Insurance sales agents
  • Paralegals

According to another list of jobs most likely to be displaced by AI from Forbes, data entry and administrative roles, customer service jobs, manufacturing and assembly line jobs, retail cashiers, entry-level graphic design jobs and translation jobs are all at risk as well.

What U.S. state has the most jobs that are vulnerable to AI?

According to (un)Common Logic’s study, Florida cities count for three of the top five metropolitan areas where the most jobs are at risk from AI.

The Tampa-St.Pete metropolitan area ranks first nationwide as the city with the most jobs at risk of being displaced by artificial intelligence. The Miami metropolitan area follows close behind in second place and Jacksonville takes fourth place.

Here is the list of the top 10 U.S. metro areas where the most jobs are at risk because of AI, according to (un)Common Logic’s study:

  1. Tampa – St. Petersburg – Clearwater, Florida
  2. Miami – Fort Lauderdale – West Palm Beach, Florida
  3. Birmingham – Hoover, Alabama
  4. Jacksonville, Florida
  5. Buffalo – Cheektowaga – Niagara Falls, New York
  6. Austin – Round Rock, Texas
  7. Kansas City, Missouri – Kansas
  8. Phoenix – Mesa – Scottsdale, Arizona
  9. Denver – Aurora – Lakewood, Colorado
  10. New York – Newark – Jersey City, New York – New Jersey – Pennsylvania

“In five states — South Dakota, Kansas, Delaware, Florida, and New York — more than one in ten workers are vulnerable to AI-related automation, facing both high levels of AI exposure and high probabilities of automation. These states have high concentrations of workers in the knowledge sector,” the study said.

“Among major metropolitan areas with populations of one million or more, locations in Florida and New York account for four of the top five regions at greatest risk of AI job displacement.”

When it comes to state-by-state rankings, Florida ranks as the state with the fourth-most jobs in danger of being replaced by artificial intelligence in this study.

Here is the list of the top 10 U.S. states where the most jobs are at risk because of AI, according to (un)Common Logic’s study:

  1. South Dakota
  2. Kansas
  3. Delaware
  4. Florida
  5. New York
  6. New Jersey
  7. Nebraska
  8. Arizona
  9. Maryland
  10. Colorado
