AI exposure explained

What does an AI score of 8/10 mean?

Interpretation

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

High AI exposure combined with a declining trend creates meaningful disruption risk for Journalistes. Workers in this field should consider developing AI-adjacent skills or exploring related roles with lower exposure.


Forecast 2030

What changes for Journalistes?

Modeled employment change by 2030
-13% to -12%
Disruption risk: High

This model combines INSEE Enquête Emploi projections (interpolated to 2030) with an AI disruption factor calibrated for the UK labour market (flexible employment, moderate union density, NHS workforce dynamics). A range of -13% to -12% means employment for Journalistes is modeled to decline by 2030. This is a scenario, not a prediction.

About this analysis

AI scores are LLM-estimated using the same methodology as the Dutch AI Exposure Map, making scores directly comparable across countries. The JPE methodology score is shown as an academic reference. Employment and salary data from INSEE 2024. A high AI score does not automatically mean job loss — Software Developers score 9/10 but INSEE data shows continued strong demand. The 2030 forecast interpolates INSEE employment projections to a 2030 horizon and adjusts with AI disruption pressure. These are modeled scenarios, not predictions. All data CC BY 4.0.
