Will AI replace gambling dealers?
Unlikely. Most of the work is hard for today's AI to speed up. Gambling Dealers score 14 out of 100 (low exposure), #709 of 923 US jobs. AI could speed up 3 of the job's 21 tasks, 3 of them on its own, while 18 see little or no speed-up. Exposure means the work is likely to change, not that the job will disappear.
