Automation exposure
How much of the work AI can already do
More exposed than 6% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 25 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Flight attendants primarily perform physical, safety-critical, and in-person interpersonal duties, including cabin safety inspections, emergency evacuations, first aid, and direct passenger service. AI tools offer marginal enhancements—such as real-time language translation apps on mobile devices, passenger manifest management tools, and AI-summarized preflight weather or route briefings—but the core physical and safety-monitoring work remains largely unaugmented by AI.
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.
