Will AI Replace Your Job? What the Research Actually Says

The headlines are dramatic. "AI will eliminate 300 million jobs." "No job is safe." But what does the research actually tell us?

We analyzed data from Anthropic, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the OECD, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to build a clearer picture of AI job displacement risk across industries and occupations.

Not All Jobs Face Equal Risk

The most important finding: AI displacement risk varies enormously depending on what you actually do day-to-day, not just your job title.

Lower risk roles tend to involve:

• Physical presence requirements (electricians, plumbers, nurses)
• Deep human relationships (therapists, social workers, teachers)
• Unpredictable environments (emergency responders, construction)
• Creative judgment under ambiguity (strategic consultants, researchers)

Higher risk roles tend to involve:

• Routine data processing (data entry, bookkeeping)
• Pattern-based decision-making (basic analysis, standard reports)
• Text generation from templates (form letters, standard documentation)
• Rule-based classification (sorting, categorizing, basic compliance checks)

The 9 Dimensions That Matter

Our assessment measures 9 key dimensions of AI vulnerability:

1. Task Routinization — How predictable and repetitive are your daily tasks?
2. Physical Presence — Does your job require you to be physically present?
3. Human Interaction Depth — How central are human relationships to your work?
4. Industry AI Adoption Speed — How fast is your industry adopting AI?
5. Decision Complexity — How much judgment and nuance do your decisions require?
6. Creative Requirements — Does your role demand original creative output?
7. Regulatory Constraints — Are there regulatory barriers to automation in your field?
8. Adaptability Signal — How quickly do you adopt new technology?
9. Growth Mindset — How do you respond to disruption?

What You Can Do About It

A high risk score isn't a death sentence — it's an early warning system. The workers who adapt earliest have the strongest outcomes.

Three immediate actions for any risk level:

1. Understand your exposure — Take a structured assessment to know exactly where you stand
2. Identify your moats — What parts of your role are hardest to automate? Double down on those
3. Start learning AI tools — Familiarity with AI makes you a complement to it, not a competitor
