Geneticist
Geneticists study DNA and genes to understand how they work and what they do. They use this knowledge to help cure genetic diseases, improve farming and food, and understand how living things develop and pass on traits.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
