More exposed than 98% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 17 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Business Intelligence Analysts experience exceptionally high augmentation from modern AI tools. Generative AI, code generation assistants, natural language-to-SQL features, and embedded BI Copilots (e.g., Microsoft Copilot in Power BI, Tableau AI) accelerate writing complex SQL queries, building DAX/R/Python formulas, automating data cleaning, and generating dashboard visualizations. Furthermore, LLMs excel at drafting narrative summaries of data trends for executive reports and documenting data specifications. An AI-fluent BI analyst can deliver significantly more complex analytics and insights in a fraction of the traditional time, making AI mastery a key differentiator in the field.
What the work involves and who it suits, beyond AI.
What the two scores mean
Automation exposure is how much of the work current AI can already perform. A high score means the tasks are exposed, not that the job will disappear: how employers use that is a separate question.
AI assistance potential is how much AI tools make a worker in this occupation more capable. It is upside, not risk — a job can score high on both.
