Automation exposure
How much of the work AI can already do
More exposed than 67% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 23 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Environmental Restoration Planners rely heavily on synthesizing complex biological data, drafting habitat management plans, creating budgets, and submitting regulatory permit applications—tasks that are significantly accelerated by current AI tools, LLMs, and AI-enhanced spatial/GIS analysis. While physical site inspections, field supervision, and stakeholder communications still require human presence and judgment, an AI-fluent planner can handle significantly more complex data analysis and documentation tasks, substantially extending their overall reach and productivity 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.
