How to use this

Look at tasks, not just job titles. The same job can be safer or riskier depending on whether the worker owns judgement, customers, compliance, physical delivery, quality, or business outcomes.

A useful career move is rarely "learn AI" in the abstract. It is learning how AI changes your actual workflow, then moving toward the parts of the work where trust, responsibility, and context matter.
