AI exposure explained

What does an AI score of 7/10 mean?

Interpretation

High exposure: many tasks in this occupation can be automated or AI-assisted. Adaptation is key.

High AI exposure combined with an expected decline creates real disruption risk for Caissiers. Workers in this field should build AI-adjacent skills and look at related roles with better prospects.


Forecast 2030

What changes for Caissiers?

Expected employment change, 2025 to 2030
-20% to 0%
Midpoint -9% · Decline and high AI exposure: reorientation advisable
BaseMétiers 2030 projection, blended with the DARES trend 2013-2019 and 2021-2024 (long-term decline)-4%
Base + AIJPE 7/10: −3.7%-8%
Base + AI + roboticsphysical automation, already under way: −1.5%-9%
Rows add up: the bottom row is the forecast.

The forecast starts from the national projection per occupational family and adds AI and robotics as separate layers. The band of -20% to 0% matters more than the midpoint. Robotics: As early as 2019, 57% of French supermarkets had self-checkouts (Auchan 99%, Cora 100%), in use since 2004; this is in the trend and in the decline expected by Les métiers en 2030. Customer use is still rising (2019: 18%), which may give a limited extra decline. (Expert estimate 7/10, effect to 2030 between 0% and −3%.)

Sources: base France Stratégie / DARES, Les métiers en 2030 (reference scenario) · jobs, growth 2021-2024, part-time and female share: DARES Portraits statistiques des métiers (FAP 2021), 2024 (incl. self-employed and civil servants) · salary: DARES net median 2023-2025, employees only. Les métiers en 2030 was made on a 2019 base, before generative AI, and differentiates growth per FAP 87 family (FAP 2009); several occupations share a family or are broad proxies. The AI and robotics layers refine per occupation. Salaries are net, not gross.

About this analysis

AI scores are LLM-estimated using the same methodology as the Dutch AI Exposure Map, making scores directly comparable across countries. Employment 2024, growth 2021-2024, part-time and female share from DARES, Portraits statistiques des métiers (FAP 2021, all workers including self-employed and civil servants); salaries are the DARES net median 2023-2025 for employees, not gross. Occupations are mapped to one or more FAP 2021 families; some are broad proxies or share a family. The 2030 forecast (JPE-prognose v3) starts from Les métiers en 2030 (France Stratégie and DARES, 2019 base) and adds separate AI and robotics layers. These are modelled scenarios, not predictions. A high AI score does not automatically mean job loss. DARES data under Licence Ouverte 2.0; our dataset CC BY 4.0.
