FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Which jobs are most at risk of AI?

The ranking comes from the live dataset: exposure scores derive from O*NET, BLS and Anthropic's AI exposure research, ordered by risk with ties resolved by profession id. The top 5 in this report are the most exposed today.

02How is the risk score calculated?

Each profession receives a 0-100 risk score from the index methodology — 0-25 low, 26-50 medium, 51-75 high, 76-100 critical. It reflects how much of the occupation's activity software can already handle, combined with employment projections.

03What does the automation timeline mean?

The timeline estimates when large-scale change could begin: 0-2 years, 2-5 years, 5-10 years or 10+ years. It comes from the same sources as the risk score.
