Jobs where AI assists most, and replaces least
Ranked by assisted share of weighted task load, highest first. Release v2026.Q3, capability reference date 2026-09-15, built on O*NET 31.0.
A high assisted share is the most useful signal in this index for anyone actually doing the job: the machine can produce the work, but something structural means a person still has to be in the loop. That is a tooling opportunity, not a redundancy notice.

How to read this
Exposed is the share of an occupation’s weighted task load that a generally available AI system can produce today with little structural friction. Assisted is work it can produce but cannot finish alone, because somebody has to be present, accountable, or because checking the output costs as much as doing the work. Untouched is work it cannot produce at all.
Every figure here is computed from task level ratings, and every occupation links to the page that shows its own tasks. If a rating looks wrong, the task is the level to argue at: how this is measured.
Other cuts of the same data
Exposure is not displacement. This index measures what current systems can produce and what stands in the way. It does not forecast job losses, and it models no adoption, employment or wage effect.
