Even though it feels like a bit of a non-answer, I'd say the last industry taken over by AI is probably the AI/automation industry itself (or, in a broader sense, programming/software engineering).
I came here to make this exact same non-answer.
The arts/humanities maybe? Because the human intellect and human emotions will always be relevant and valuable to other humans. Sidenote: when I say "arts/humanities" I'm not just referring to entertainment but also the branches of society that deal with introspection and cultural criticism for the sake of human autonomy.

I think it is something on the first line for potential replacement. Deep learning chat bot, which learned emotions from million of books can come tomorrow and successfully imitate human emotions.
Law will take some time as often questions are more nuanced than simply applying the law to a problem.
That, and it's going to be really hard to extract the facts of a case through automated means. There are two big benefits to AI in the legal realm -- automation of rote tasks, such as constructing simple contracts, that companies like LegalZoom already do; and predicting outcomes of trials based on the lawyers and judges involved in the case.
Automation of routine tasks will certainly reduce the number of lawyers as many are used to taking styles from their firm's systems and amending it to suit a client's needs, but for bespoke legal advice it will be hard to replace an experienced lawyer (for now).
And yes, case outcome prediction is a great tool but I see that being more limited to insurers deciding whether to fund cases etc.
