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.
