How AI changes your job

AI doesn't take jobs.<br>It takes tasks.

Every job is a bundle of tasks, and AI hits them unevenly — some get automated, some get amplified, some stay stubbornly human. Search your job and see the breakdown.

Methodology & sources▾

Market data (growth, openings, pay, education) is straight from the BLS Employment Projections 2024–2034. No estimates.

Tasks are verbatim from the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET database — the real task statements for each occupation.

The AI effect on each task is the only assessed layer, classified under a published rubric: automate = AI software can do it end-to-end; augment = AI does much of it but a human directs and is accountable; human = needs physical presence, dexterity, real-time trust, or legal accountability. Physical/manual work is treated as human (we assess AI, not robots).
