Will your occupation be replaced by AI?
Will you as an epidemiologist be replaced by AI?
More exposed than 98 % of the 774 occupations in the research
Right now, your daily work involves digging into data, mapping the spread of infections, and writing reports that explain what the numbers mean for politicians and the public. That’s where AI comes in, quickly sorting through large datasets, spotting patterns, and even drafting initial texts. But it’s still up to you to interpret what those patterns mean, talk to people in the field, and make decisions when uncertainty is high. In EuroWork, for example, you can input a stack of infection control reports from different regions and get help summarising the differences and similarities, so you don’t have to sit comparing table after table.
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.
