AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
The vast majority of a fishing and hunting worker's duties involve physical labor, manual dexterity, equipment maintenance, and hands-on operational tasks in unpredictable natural environments. While modern AI-driven oceanographic modeling, satellite imagery analysis, and route optimization can offer minor assistance in finding yield or interpreting weather patterns, the core day-to-day tasks—such as setting traps, hauling catches, maintaining vessels, and handling physical equipment—are largely unaffected by current AI software tools.
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.
