AI exposure explained

What does an AI score of 5/10 mean?

Interpretation

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

For Health Services Managers, AI exposure is moderate: some tasks will be assisted or automated, but the occupation as a whole is expected to evolve rather than disappear. Staying current with AI tools in the field is the key adaptation.


Forecast 2030

What changes for Health Services Managers?

Expected employment change, 2025 to 2030
-5% to +10%
Midpoint +3% · Growth occupation: expected demand rises
Basenational projection, without AI+5%
Base + AIJPE 5/10: −1.2%+3%
Base + AI + roboticsno robotics effect before 2030+3%
Rows add up: the bottom row is the forecast.

The forecast starts from the national projection per occupational group and adds AI and robotics as separate layers. The band of -5% to +10% matters more than the midpoint.

Sources: base DfE Labour market and skills projections 2020 to 2035 (Working Futures), baseline · jobs, part-time and female share: ONS Annual Population Survey (Nomis NM_218_1), 2025 · salary: ASHE 2024. Working Futures differentiates growth only at the level of 26 occupational sub-major groups; the AI and robotics layers refine per occupation.

About this analysis

AI scores are LLM-estimated using the same methodology as the Dutch AI Exposure Map, making scores directly comparable across countries. Where shown, the Felten AIOE score is an academic reference. Job counts, growth 2021-2025, part-time and female share from the ONS Annual Population Survey (Nomis NM_218_1), SOC 2020; salaries from ASHE 2024 (an estimate where ASHE has no figure). The 2030 forecast (JPE-prognose v3) starts from the DfE Working Futures baseline and adds separate AI and robotics layers. These are modelled scenarios, not predictions. A high AI score does not automatically mean job loss. All data CC BY 4.0.
