Investor and entrepreneur Codie Sanchez has identified ten industries she believes are especially susceptible to disruption as artificial intelligence and automation accelerate their reach into nearly every corner of the economy.

In a post on X, Sanchez shared her updated list of sectors at highest risk. “Industries most vulnerable to tech disruption right now,” she wrote, before listing last-mile delivery, supply chain logistics, warehouse labor, direct mail marketing, laundromats, home services, waste management, financing for small businesses, tax compliance for small businesses, and financial services for mid-size real estate investors.

Sanchez’s post suggests that many businesses operating on thin margins or legacy models may face significant upheaval unless they adopt or adapt to emerging technologies. From automation in warehouses to AI-generated marketing and bookkeeping tools, the rapid pace of innovation is poised to replace or reshape large swaths of operational labor.

By flagging these sectors, Sanchez is encouraging entrepreneurs and investors to either build defensively within these industries or proactively pivot toward tech-resistant niches. She frequently advises her followers to identify asymmetric opportunities—those where effort and investment yield disproportionately large returns—and to pay close attention to signals that indicate where legacy business models are vulnerable.
