AI exposure explained

What does an AI score of 7/10 mean?

Interpretation

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

High AI exposure changes the work of Public Relations and Fundraising Managers substantially, but employment is expected to stay roughly stable. Where AI takes over routine tasks, the role shifts toward judgment, client contact and oversight.

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

BLS AI exposure category: Very high (context next to the JPE score, not used in the forecast)

Sources: base BLS Employment Projections 2025-35 · jobs: BLS Employment Projections, 2025 (incl. self-employed) · growth 2021-2025: OEWS May 2021 to May 2025 · salary: OEWS May 2025. BLS already builds AI and automation effects into its projection for some occupations; where it does, no separate layer is added on top.

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 from BLS Employment Projections 2025-35 (2025, including self-employed); growth 2021-2025 and salaries from BLS OEWS May 2021 and May 2025 (an estimate where OEWS has no figure). The 2030 forecast (JPE-prognose v3) starts from the BLS Employment Projections and adds separate AI and robotics layers only where BLS does not already include those effects. These are modelled scenarios, not predictions. A high AI score does not automatically mean job loss. All data CC BY 4.0.
