Researchers at GovAI and Brookings estimated vulnerability to job displacement due to AI. For the Washington Post, Kevin Schaul and Shira Ovide charted the estimates on two dimensions: exposure and adaptability.
Estimating vulnerability is difficult, because a single factor like exposure isn’t enough. A job might have high exposure to AI tools, but that doesn’t always mean the job is at risk. You might just have new responsibilities and use the tools more.
I don’t think firefighting is in the cards for me. Maybe I’ll get into manicures. Although “other mathematical science occupations” has lowest vulnerability and high adaptability so maybe I have a few years left.
