# Will AI Replace Administrative Services Managers? (2026)

**Short answer:** Unlikely. BLS rates the work's exposure to AI as moderate, below the middle of the pack, and still projects employment to grow faster than average.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics places administrative services managers in its moderate AI exposure category, below the middle of the pack: some of the work overlaps with what AI can do, much of it does not. BLS projects employment to change by +5.2% over 2025–2035, against 3.5% for all occupations, with about 22,000 openings a year.

## FAQ

**Will AI replace administrative services managers?**

Unlikely. BLS rates the work's exposure to AI as moderate, below the middle of the pack, and still projects employment to grow faster than average. BLS defines exposure as AI being able to assist with or complete some of the work, and says it does not imply job loss, productivity gains or wage effects. BLS projects employment to change by +5.2% over 2025–2035, against 3.5% for all occupations, with about 22,000 openings a year.

**How exposed are administrative services managers to AI?**

BLS sorts 786 occupations into four relative categories: low, moderate, high and very high. Administrative Services Managers are in the moderate category, alongside 193 other occupations. The categories combine five public measures of where AI could be or already is used, and they compare occupations with each other rather than giving an absolute risk.

**What parts of an administrative services manager's job can AI do?**

In O\*NET's description of the work, the parts that overlap most with what AI handles well are documenting/recording information, performing administrative activities and processing information. The parts that hold up best are face-to-face discussions, establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships and resolving conflicts and negotiating with others. These come from O\*NET ratings of how important each activity is to the job, read through NueCareer's AI-resilience method.

**Is being an administrative services manager a safe career from AI?**

On NueCareer's AI-resilience score, built from O\*NET work activities, administrative services managers score 43 out of 100, higher than 47% of the occupations we score. The job pays a median of $114,130 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2025). No job is fully safe from technological change, but the federal exposure category and the projected openings are the two numbers worth weighing.
