Automation exposure
How much of the work AI can already do
More exposed than 46% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 25 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Postsecondary business teachers engage in two primary activities highly augmented by current AI tools: academic research and curriculum development/teaching. AI tools significantly accelerate research workflows through automated literature reviews, data analysis, and manuscript drafting. In teaching, LLMs allow professors to rapidly generate custom business case studies, interactive simulations, exam questions, personalized feedback, and updated syllabi reflective of real-time market changes. An AI-fluent business professor can produce significantly more research output and deliver richer, more personalized educational experiences compared to a non-fluent peer.
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.
