High Exposure, Lower Replacement Pressure
Substantial cognitive and documentation tasks overlap with AI, but statutory accountability, physical constraints, or institutional regulation buffer structural reduction.
Visual Career Intelligence
Explore occupations in the AI era
Compare occupations by AI Exposure and Replacement Risk. See which jobs are highly exposed to AI, which face greater replacement pressure, and which remain more resilient because of human, physical, or structural factors.
Core Visual Guide
AI can do the work. That does not always mean AI can take the job.
This explorer maps occupations using two JobsVsAI measures. AI Exposure shows how much of the occupation’s task bundle overlaps with current AI capability. Replacement Risk shows how much of that exposure translates into structural pressure on the human role after physical constraints, accountability, and adoption realities are applied.
01
Upper-Right Zone:
Jobs in this zone are both highly exposed to AI tasks and under elevated structural replacement pressure.
02
Bottom-Right (Buffered):
Occupations below the parity line show lower replacement pressure due to physical, accountability, and regulatory friction.
03
Bottom-Left Zone:
Occupations anchored in tactile trades and physical reality have lower exposure and lower replacement risk.
04

High Exposure / Lower Replacement Pressure
AI can assist with substantial analysis or drafting, but human dependency, physical requirements, accountability, regulation, adoption, or labour-market friction buffer structural displacement.
e.g. Software Engineers, Nurse Practitioners, Financial AdvisorsElevated
High Exposure / Elevated Replacement Risk
High task overlap with algorithmic models, paired with standardized digital workflows and lower physical or regulatory barriers to commercial automation.
e.g. Telemarketers, Data Entry Keyers, Title ExaminersResilient
Low Exposure / Low Replacement Risk
Occupations centered around unpredictable physical environments, fine manual manipulation, emergency intervention, or specialized tactile tradecraft.
e.g. Electricians, Commercial Divers, FirefightersStructural
Lower Exposure / Higher Structural Pressure
Lower overall AI capability overlap, but specialized structural or commercial vulnerability in specific routine or consolidating tasks.
e.g. Specialized Clerks, DispatchersCurated Patterns
Key occupational profiles across the map
Explore representative career cohorts that illustrate how AI exposure interacts with real-world barriers.
Elevated Replacement Pressure
Standardized, screen-based transactional workflows facing aggressive commercial automation pressure with few regulatory or physical moats.
Physical & Trade Resilience
Occupations anchored in unconstrained physical environments, fine manual dexterity, tactile diagnostics, and localized human presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the 2D Occupation Map
What does this 2D occupation map show?
The occupation map plots verified careers across two independent dimensions: AI Exposure (horizontal X-axis) and Replacement Risk (vertical Y-axis). Each point represents one occupation, allowing you to instantly visualize how task-level software capability compares against structural labour-market vulnerability.
What is the difference between AI Exposure and Replacement Risk?
AI Exposure (0–100) measures how much of an occupation's day-to-day task mix overlaps with current AI capabilities. Replacement Risk (0–100) measures structural vulnerability after accounting for real-world friction—including physical constraints, human dependency, fiduciary accountability, adoption economics, and institutional regulations.
Why are some high-exposure jobs lower on replacement risk?
A job can be highly exposed to AI without being easy to replace. Occupations such as software developers, nurse practitioners, and financial advisors have high capability overlap with AI for drafting and analysis, yet statutory liability, system architecture, and human bedside care prevent direct headcount reduction.
Does a high Replacement Risk score mean job loss is guaranteed?
No. JobsVsAI scores are index ratings on a 0–100 scale, not probabilities or unemployment forecasts. A score of 75 indicates that an occupation exhibits higher relative structural vulnerability compared to lower-scoring occupations across the economy.
Are all occupations included in this explorer?
This explorer plots our verified cohort of 507 occupations with complete task-level evidence. Preliminary estimates are excluded from the default map to maintain strict methodology and empirical rigor.
