Which jobs are most at risk from AI automation?

Jobs with high routine and repetitive tasks are most at risk: data entry, basic accounting, customer service, simple legal work, and manufacturing. Jobs requiring creativity, complex judgment, physical dexterity in unstructured environments, and emotional intelligence are safer.

Which skills protect against AI replacement?

Skills that protect against AI replacement include complex problem-solving, creativity, interpersonal communication, leadership, emotional intelligence, physical tasks in dynamic environments, and specialized domain expertise combined with judgment.

How should I future-proof my career?

Focus on developing skills that complement AI rather than compete with it: learn to use AI tools effectively, develop uniquely human skills, build expertise in your field combined with AI literacy, and cultivate adaptability and continuous learning habits.

💡 What to do?

🟠 Develop hybrid skills. Combine your domain expertise with AI tools — this is the most effective combination.

🟠 Specialize. The deeper your expertise, the harder it is for AI to replace you.

🤖 Remember: AI replaces tasks, not necessarily entire professions. Human + AI is often the best combination.

📌 This calculator is an estimate based on research (McKinsey, Oxford, Goldman Sachs). Actual development depends on technological progress, regulation, and economic changes. The estimate covers the next 5–10 years.

The AI job risk calculator estimates how likely artificial intelligence is to change or replace tasks in your profession. Describe the nature of your work to get an estimate of the automation risk and perspectives on what to prepare for.

How the calculator works and what it’s for▾

How the risk is estimated

The estimate is based on how routine, repetitive and rule-driven your tasks are. Easily modelled, data-based tasks are more exposed to automation than work that demands creativity, human contact and judgement.

The calculator combines these traits into an overall estimate of how likely change is in your particular role.

What you enter and what you get

You provide details about your profession and the nature of your tasks. In return you get an estimate of the automation risk along with an interpretation of which parts of the work are more exposed to change.

The result helps you see which skills are worth investing in for the future.

Who it is for

The tool serves employees, students and career planners who want to understand the impact of AI on their field.

It also suits managers thinking about how to develop their team's skills.

Good to know

The result is indicative guidance, not a prediction. AI changes many jobs rather than replacing them, shifting tasks toward human strengths.

Use the estimate as a basis for discussion and personal development, not as a final truth.
