Will your occupation be replaced by AI?
Will you as a machinist be replaced by AI?
More exposed than 25 % of the 774 occupations in the research
That low AI replacement value is because you stand by the machine every day, measuring, adjusting tools, and making sure the parts come out exactly right. AI can’t hold a lathe or feel if the surface is smooth enough, but it can help with the boring stuff around it. At EuroWork, for example, you can input a blueprint and get a quick summary of tolerances and material requirements, so you don’t have to flip through binders when a customer calls. Or you can let the AI write a simple work instruction for a new colleague while you focus on the next setup.
What is AIOE?
AIOE stands for AI Occupational Exposure and is the researchers' measure of how much of an occupation's tasks AI could in principle perform. A high score means much of the working day can be done with AI, a low one that most of it requires hands, presence or physical work. The measure says nothing about what actually happens to the jobs: exposed does not mean replaced, that is decided by how the workplace takes on the technology.
Source: the AIOE measure from Felten, Raj and Seamans' published data file (Strategic Management Journal). The percentile is calculated against all 774 occupations in the research.
Exposed is not replaced. The difference is whether the workplace makes AI use shared and visible, or lets everyone take their chances in private accounts.
