Will AI replace your job?
Automation exposure, timelines and — most importantly — concrete transition paths for 15 roles. Don't get replaced; learn to dance with it →
Will AI take my job is the wrong question — which of my tasks will it take is the measurable one. This page scores 15 occupations on a 0–100 automation-exposure scale, with a timeline, confidence level and a split of tasks at risk versus tasks still safe for each. The summary counts 1 high-risk-of-replacement role, 5 high-value roles being augmented, 9 at medium risk and 8 already seeing immediate impact.
More useful than the score is what follows it: each occupation lists concrete transition paths with a target role, difficulty rating, estimated time and the skills to pick up, plus real-world cases showing how automation actually landed in that industry. The honest read of this data is that most roles bend rather than break — the AI augmentation page shows the flip side.

FAQ
Common questions, answered with the data on this page.
Will AI take my job?
For most of the 15 occupations scored here, no — 9 sit at medium risk and 5 are being augmented rather than replaced, with only 1 flagged high-risk for replacement. The answer depends on your task mix, which is why each role lists affected and safe tasks separately. Our guide to whether AI is taking jobs covers the bigger picture.
What does an automation exposure score mean?
It is a 0–100 estimate of how much of a role's task content current AI can perform, grouped into color-coded risk bands. Each score comes with a timeline — from immediate impact to a 3–5 year window — and a confidence level, so you can tell a near-certain shift from a speculative one. Treat it as a planning signal, not a verdict.
Which jobs are most at risk from AI?
Use the Replaced filter above to isolate roles at risk of replacement — routine-heavy, rules-based work scores highest. The Augmented filter shows the larger group: roles where AI absorbs the tedious tasks and raises the value of the rest. The AI augmentation page maps the skills that move you into that second group.
What should I do if my role scores high-risk?
Start from the transition-path cards on your occupation's detail view: each names a target role, a difficulty rating, an estimated timeline and the specific skills to build, with recommended courses where they exist. Pick the adjacent path with the smallest skill gap, then validate the plan against a structured AI career path.
