More exposed than 25% of the occupations in the index.

Averaged across 19 O*NET tasks, weighted by importance.

Directors of religious activities and education spend significant time on administrative tasks, curriculum development, event planning, and community outreach. Generative AI tools can substantially accelerate drafting educational materials, lesson plans, study guides, retreat itineraries, and marketing copy for congregational events, as well as assist in budget tracking and participation data analysis. However, a core element of the role involves deeply human, relational, and empathetic responsibilities such as pastoral counseling, spiritual guidance, volunteer relationship-building, and personal mentorship, where AI offers limited direct utility. Overall, AI provides meaningful productivity gains for the administrative and content-creation portions of the position.
