Most exposed

Where AI can do more

Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.

  1. Maintain records of students' assessment results, progress, feedback, or school performance, ensuring confidentiality of all records.74
  2. Identify, develop, or implement intervention strategies, tutoring plans, or individualized education plans (IEPs) for students.74
  3. Organize tutoring environment to promote productivity and learning.73
  4. Schedule tutoring appointments with students or their parents.72
Hardest to automate

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.

Beyond AI capability

Adoption and labour-market outlook

Structural factors are kept separate from raw capability so you can see what actually resists automation. Adoption pressure and labour-market resilience are still provisional models—25% of this occupation’s replacement-risk weight rests on them.
