AI exposure explained

What does an AI score of 4/10 mean?

Interpretation

Moderate exposure: parts of this work can be assisted by AI. The role will evolve but not disappear.

AI exposure for Mécaniciens automobiles is moderate, but employment is still expected to decline, driven mainly by the Métiers 2030 projection for this occupational family. Look at related roles with better prospects and at the tasks that stay human.

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.
