Automation exposure

More exposed than 97% 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 significantly augment the core responsibilities of Human Resources Specialists. Generative AI and modern HRtech platforms drastically accelerate resume screening, candidate matching, job description drafting, employee onboarding material creation, and policy research/interpretation. An AI-fluent HR specialist can manage a substantially larger candidate pipeline and deliver faster, higher-quality responses to employee inquiries, making AI adoption a key productivity differentiator while human judgment remains essential for interviewing and complex employee relations.
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.
