Ugandan jobs that will be replaced by AI this year
The Future is Closer Than You Think Imagine you're walking down a busy Kampala street in 2026, the usual sights and sounds around you — the bustling boda-bodas, the street vendors, the city’s endless hustle. But something feels different. You glance over at an Airtel shop, and instead of a person behind the counter, there's a sleek, touch screen that greets you like an old friend, ready to help you with anything you need. No queues, no waiting for an agent. A moment later, a self-driving delivery van whizzes past, not a driver in sight. The world around you seems just as lively as ever, but there’s an undercurrent of technology quietly taking over. And you start to wonder, how much longer will this stay the same? In the coming years, many of the jobs we see every day in Uganda could be taken over by AI — from call center agents to delivery drivers to healthcare professionals. And with big companies like MTN, Airtel, and UNRA already embracing AI in their operations, the question isn't if these changes will happen, but when? So, what does this mean for you? Will your job be safe, or are you on the brink of being replaced by a machine?
