Questions

Jobs most exposed to AI: which come first?

Mathematicians (100/100), Proofreaders and Copy Markers (98/100), Blockchain Engineers (97/100). The full list has 50 jobs.

How is AI exposure measured?

Each job's tasks, from the US Department of Labor's O*NET database, are rated on whether AI could do them at least twice as fast at the same quality. The score is the share of tasks AI can speed up, from 0 to 100.

Does a low score mean the job is safe forever?

No. It means today's AI can speed up little of the work. Tools around the job can still change, so it pays to keep learning.
