Automation exposure
How much of the work AI can already do
More exposed than 80% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 14 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Climate Change Policy Analysts rely heavily on information retrieval, literature synthesis, quantitative modeling, and the drafting of reports and policy briefs. Generative AI and specialized semantic search tools dramatically augment these core tasks by enabling analysts to rapidly synthesize vast amounts of academic research, analyze complex legislative documents, and draft tailored briefings or policy options in a fraction of the time. While human judgment, political nuance, stakeholder engagement, and strategic decision-making remain essential, an AI-fluent analyst can achieve vastly higher productivity, analytical depth, and scope of output 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.
