Automation exposure
How much of the work AI can already do
More exposed than 84% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 26 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
AI tools substantially transform the daily workflow of financial and investment analysts by automating complex data extraction, financial statement parsing, qualitative news synthesis, and presentation drafting. Analysts using AI tools can rapidly query SEC filings, process earnings call transcripts, generate financial modeling code, and synthesize market trends at unprecedented speeds. This allows an individual AI-fluent analyst to cover a much broader array of companies and assets with greater analytical depth, making AI fluency a major differentiator in the field.
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.
