For fun, not a forecast. Scores are our rough estimates of how much of a job’s tasks AI can already help with, based on the ILO (2025) and Microsoft Research (2025) studies. Exposure usually means the job changes, not that it disappears — the ILO puts about 1 in 4 jobs worldwide in exposed occupations, but only 3.3% in the highest category.
