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 Felten AIOE score is shown as an academic reference. Employment and salary data from BLS OEWS May 2024. A high AI score does not automatically mean job loss — Software Developers score 9/10 but BLS projects +17% growth (2023–2033). The 2030 forecast interpolates BLS 10-year projections to a 2030 horizon and adjusts with AI disruption pressure. These are modeled scenarios, not predictions. All data CC BY 4.0.
