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.

How is this list decided?
Every occupational family (SOC major group); the three highest exposed shares in each. Scores come from rating every standardised work activity in each occupation against a published rubric, not from rating the occupation as a whole.
Does a high score mean the job disappears?
No. Exposure is not displacement. This measures what current systems can produce and what structurally stands in the way, not what an employer will do about it.
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.
