How much of this occupation’s work can be materially affected by current AI systems.
How likely exposure is to translate into reduced human demand.
Includes provisional estimates for AI adoption pressure and labour-market resilience. How this is measured
Confidence reflects task coverage, mapping and capability-evidence quality, and how much of the score rests on provisional inputs.
What is driving the score?
Occupation scores are built from the task mix—not a single prediction about a job title.
Where AI can do more
Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.
- Prescribe or administer treatment, therapy, medication, vaccination, and other specialized medical care to treat or prevent illness, disease, or injury.73
- Explain procedures and discuss test results or prescribed treatments with patients.71
- Collect, record, and maintain patient information, such as medical history, reports, or examination results.65
- Order, perform, and interpret tests and analyze records, reports, and examination information to diagnose patients' condition.65
Where people still matter
These tasks score lowest on automation feasibility—physical presence, judgement, accountability and real-world variability all resist end-to-end automation.
- Coordinate work with nurses, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, and other health care providers.01
- Collect, record, and maintain patient information, such as medical history, reports, or examination results.02
- Order, perform, and interpret tests and analyze records, reports, and examination information to diagnose patients' condition.03
- Monitor patients' conditions and progress and reevaluate treatments as necessary.04
