Automation exposure

Averaged across 22 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Communications postsecondary teachers benefit significantly from AI tools across multiple dimensions of their workflow, including automated lesson planning, syllabus drafting, generating case studies, and creating feedback drafts for student writing and media projects. Furthermore, because the fields they teach—journalism, public relations, media, and organizational communication—are themselves being profoundly transformed by generative AI, an AI-fluent professor is materially more capable of delivering relevant, cutting-edge instruction and preparing students for the modern communications industry.
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.
