AI Applicability vs Career Exposure

Highest AI applicability and High ACI risk. Both models agree: translation is at the frontier of AI displacement.

High applicability from information tasks (bookings, scheduling), but physical presence and safety judgment keep ACI at Medium.

AI handles lead scoring and outreach drafting. Relationship-driven deal-closing keeps exposure at Medium.

Strong agreement. AI generates drafts at scale; templated writing roles face the most pressure.

2.9 million employed. Both models agree: triage and standard resolution are being automated at scale.

High AI applicability from programming tasks, but physical machine operation and setup keep ACI at Medium.

Booking and itinerary work is highly automatable. ACI rates High because the structural path to replacement is clear.

Rule-based processing of trades and records. Both models see high vulnerability.

Moderate AI applicability but Low ACI risk. The role's advisory, in-person nature insulates it.

Lower current AI usage than expected, but ACI rates High. Structural conditions for AI replacement are strong; adoption is catching up.

Low on both. Human presence, local knowledge, and relationship skills create a natural moat.

Near-zero AI applicability. Academic tenure and original research insulate the role.

Zero current applicability but ACI Medium. AI is used in newsrooms, but source cultivation and investigation are harder to automate.

Major divergence. Zero current AI usage but ACI High. AI is increasingly capable at formal reasoning and proof work.

Zero current applicability but ACI High risk. AI documentation tools are maturing fast. The gap between usage and risk is the preparation window.

Grammar and style checking was one of AI's earliest applications. Structural risk is already materializing.

Zero applicability score but ACI Medium. Editorial judgment and narrative shaping provide some insulation.

Academic tenure and curriculum ownership insulate postsecondary educators. Both models see low risk.

Zero current AI usage, but ACI rates High. Press release drafting and media monitoring are highly automatable.

Programmatic ad buying is already AI-driven. The sales agent role is being compressed by self-serve platforms.

Routine account setup and verification. Classic target for process automation.

Large workforce (390k). Physical presence provides some protection, but self-service kiosks are growing.

Zero applicability but ACI Medium. AI automates routine analysis; the strategic and experimental parts hold.

Both models agree: the advisory relationship and regulatory accountability insulate this role.

Niche role with physical preservation requirements. Low risk on both measures.

Academic tenure provides structural insulation.

Major divergence. Zero in the Microsoft data, but ACI High. AI code generation is advancing rapidly; templated web development is increasingly automatable.

838k employed. Zero applicability, ACI Low. Strategic judgment, client relationships, and organizational change management create strong insulation.

Spatial analysis has AI applications but research and fieldwork components provide protection.

AI-generated imagery is a growing threat, but physical presence for fashion and live work persists.

846k employed and ACI High, despite zero current applicability. Survey design, data collection, and report generation are all AI-targetable.

Critical public safety function. AI assists with routing but human judgment in emergencies keeps it at Medium.

Academic tenure and specialised domain knowledge provide structural insulation.
