Jobs on the Edge is a Skimmy Stories series exploring the roles most at risk of being replaced by AI — and the human value that remains when machines take over.

In “Teachers in the AI Classroom,” schools roll out software that handles grading, lesson plans, and personalized tutoring. Administrators celebrate efficiency, but teachers face a new reality: fewer are hired, and those who remain are asked to supervise instead of teach. What AI can’t do is notice when a student loses confidence, encourage them to keep going, or make learning feel human.
