This calculator is based on research from OECD, ONS and related studies on task-level and sector-level AI exposure. It will be updated as new AI models emerge and novel research is published. Learn more. The calculator uses a weighted scoring model that evaluates task automation potential, protective factors, and industry-specific AI adoption timelines to estimate exposure across multiple time horizons. View detailed methodology.

Calculator Methodology

This calculator uses a multi-factor weighted scoring model to estimate your job's exposure to AI automation across different time horizons. Here's how it works:

1. Task Automation Potential

Computer-based work percentage: Higher percentages increase automation potential, as AI currently excels at digital tasks.

Task repetitiveness: More repetitive tasks are easier for AI to learn and automate.

Physical dexterity requirements: Higher physical skill requirements reduce automation risk due to current robotics limitations.

2. Protective Factors

Certain skills and activities reduce automation risk:

Creativity & problem-solving: Original thinking and complex problem-solving remain difficult for AI to replicate.
Emotional intelligence: Empathy, relationship management, and human connection are significant protective factors.
Strategic leadership: Higher-level management and people-focused leadership activities provide protection against automation.

3. Industry-Specific Adjustment

Different industries are adopting AI at different rates. The calculator applies industry-specific modifiers based on:

Current AI deployment levels in the sector
Regulatory constraints that may slow adoption
Capital investment patterns and digital infrastructure
Historical technology adoption curves for the industry

4. Time Horizon Projections

The calculator estimates exposure across four time periods:

Today: Based on currently deployed AI capabilities
2 Years: Near-term adoption of existing AI tools across industries
5 Years: Mid-term projections accounting for AI capability improvements and wider deployment
10 Years: Long-term estimates including potential breakthroughs in robotics and multimodal AI

Each time horizon applies progressive multipliers to account for advancing AI capabilities and increasing organizational adoption.

5. Job Title Enhancement (Optional)

When you provide a job title, the calculator cross-references it with ONS occupation data and OECD task exposure research to refine the baseline automation potential for your specific role.

Limitations & Transparency

This calculator provides guidance, not definitive predictions. Key limitations include:

AI capabilities are evolving rapidly; projections may underestimate or overestimate actual pace of change
Organizational adoption varies significantly; some companies may move faster or slower than sector averages
Regulatory changes could accelerate or constrain AI deployment in unpredictable ways
Individual results depend on the accuracy of your self-assessment of work activities

The methodology is regularly updated as new research emerges and AI capabilities advance. Last updated: December 2025.
