What can AI actually do in your job?
Not one day from now. Today. We take every task the US Department of Labor records for every occupation, score each one for what current AI systems can produce and what stands in the way, and publish the result task by task, re-scored every quarter so you can see what moved.
923 occupations, searchable by any of their reported job titles. Your search never leaves your browser.
Analysis
All pieces- Paralegals score higher than lawyers, and the reason is not seniority
The exposed part of legal work is concentrated in a specific kind of task, and it is not distributed by rank.
- Radiology is the clearest test of the assisted band
Forty-eight occupations in this release are highly capable and heavily frictioned at the same time. What happens to them is the real question.
- In healthcare, the licensed professionals are more exposed than the aides
Healthcare practitioners score a median of 18.5%. Healthcare support scores 11.9%. The gap runs in the opposite direction to most expectations.
- The degree premium is now an exposure premium, up to a point
Exposure rises with the education a job requires, then falls again at the top. The most exposed tier is not the one most people expect.
- Scheduling is the most exposed thing anybody does at work
Of the 41 families of work activity in the taxonomy, one scores far above the rest, and it sits inside almost every office job.

What the three numbers mean
Exposed
Current AI systems can produce the work product, and little structural friction stands in the way.
Assisted
They can produce it, but licensure, physical presence or the cost of checking the output keeps a person in the loop.
Untouched
They cannot produce it at all, usually because the work means acting on the physical world.
The three shares always sum to 100% of an occupation’s weighted task load. How each one is calculated.
