Averaged across 23 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Postsecondary instructors in area, ethnic, and cultural studies benefit substantially from AI tools across both research and pedagogical responsibilities. AI can accelerate literature reviews, assist in drafting research papers, generate syllabi and lecture outlines, construct assignment rubrics, and produce tailored discussion prompts or case studies. While live classroom facilitation, nuanced cultural analysis, and personal student mentorship remain inherently human, an AI-fluent academic can significantly increase their research output, streamline administrative overhead, and enrich course materials far faster than 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.
