Averaged across 11 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Credit Analysts benefit significantly from AI tools that automate financial statement spreading, ratio calculations, peer benchmarking, and preliminary credit memo drafting. AI models can rapidly parse structured financial statements alongside unstructured qualitative data, such as earnings call transcripts, news, and regulatory filings, to surface hidden risk factors. An AI-fluent credit analyst can evaluate deal pipelines much faster, produce deeper risk assessments, and handle significantly higher portfolio volume while focusing human judgment on complex, edge-case lending decisions.
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.
