Automation exposure
How much of the work AI can already do
More exposed than 56% of the occupations in the index.
Averaged across 22 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.
AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Landscape architects benefit substantially from AI tools across key workflow stages, including generative design iteration, 3D site rendering, environmental data analysis (such as sun path and drainage modeling), plant selection matrix generation, and spec writing. An AI-fluent landscape architect can produce high-fidelity client presentations and climate-resilient design options in a fraction of the time required by traditional workflows. However, physical site inspections, local zoning and regulatory approvals, complex client management, and final engineering sign-offs remain essential human duties, anchoring the score at 6.5.
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.
