How to use this library
Each guide is written for people in the role who want to adapt, not panic. The scores are directional: they show which careers have more automatable tasks versus which depend on physical delivery, trust, accountability, and judgement.
High-risk roles are not doomed roles. They are roles where a larger share of the work can be drafted, summarised, routed, or checked by software. The safest move is usually to shift from task execution toward review, client context, compliance, operations, or ownership.
Low-risk roles are not safe from change. AI will still help with admin, reporting, and planning. But the core work—hands-on delivery, regulated accountability, care, negotiation—remains harder to replace.
What the scores measure
- How much of the role is made up of repeatable, text-heavy, rule-based, or software-assisted tasks
- Whether the job requires physical presence, skilled manual work, or real-world problem-solving
- The level of accountability, trust, and judgement involved—especially in regulated, client-facing, or care-based work
- How quickly AI tools are already entering the profession and changing expectations

Career planning advice
If your role scores high (65+), focus on moving from production into ownership. Learn AI tools yourself, own processes rather than just tasks, build relationships with senior stakeholders, and show you can use automation to free up time for judgement.
If your role scores medium (35–64), your advantage is combining AI speed with domain expertise and quality control. Get formal qualifications, specialise in a niche, and show you can check AI outputs against real-world constraints.
If your role scores low (below 35), you are not immune. AI will still change your admin burden and how you work with systems. Use the time savings to deepen expertise, take on leadership, or build local reputation and trust.
