§ AI Risk Index · 60 occupations

Will AI replace your job?

AI risk scores for 60 occupations, built from task-level analysis — which parts of each job current AI can already do, which parts resist, and the strategic move for the people in it.

Every score links to a full breakdown. This is a diagnostic, not a doom index: high exposure means the role is changing shape, and the people who reposition early keep the leverage. Last updated July 2026.

How these scores are built

Most "will AI take my job" tools give you a single opaque percentage. We break each occupation into its core tasks and assess each one against what current-generation AI systems — language models, agents, and robotics where relevant — can already do or heavily assist. The score is the editorial synthesis of that task-level analysis, informed by published AI-exposure research. It deliberately measures task exposure, not headcount predictions: nobody can honestly predict layoff numbers, but anyone can verify whether AI can currently write production copy or reconcile a bank feed.

Scores are revised as capabilities change. Median pay figures are approximate US median annual wages (BLS Occupational Employment Statistics), rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Frequently asked questions

What does the AI risk score mean?

The score (0–100) estimates how much of a role's core task mix current-generation AI systems can perform or heavily assist. It measures task exposure, not job elimination: a 70 means most of the routine work is automatable, not that 70% of workers lose their jobs. Bands: 0–29 Low, 30–49 Moderate, 50–69 High, 70+ Very High.

Does a high score mean the job will disappear?

No. High-exposure jobs usually compress rather than vanish — fewer people using AI produce the same output, entry-level openings shrink first, and the remaining roles shift toward judgment, relationships, and exception handling. The score tells you where the pressure is, so you can reposition before it arrives.

Where do these scores come from?

They are Life Strategy OS editorial estimates built from task-level analysis: we break each occupation into its core tasks and assess which ones current AI systems (LLMs, agents, and robotics where relevant) can already perform or heavily assist, informed by published AI-exposure research. They are revised as capabilities change — this table was last updated July 2026.

My job scores high. What should I do?

Don't panic-quit and don't buy a bootcamp reflexively. First check your personal task mix with the AI Automation Risk Calculator — title-level scores are averages. Then read the strategic move on your job's page: in most cases the answer is repositioning within your field toward the judgment and relationship work AI feeds into, not an expensive retrain into a field with its own exposure problem.

The score is the diagnosis. The strategy is the cure.

Life Strategy OS turns career signals like this into a weekly operating system — direction, experiments, and an AI Career Strategist to pressure-test your moves.
