Will your occupation be replaced by AI?
Researchers have given hundreds of occupations a score for how much of their tasks AI could in principle perform. Look up your occupation and see where it lands, what the number actually means, and why exposed is not the same as replaced.

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.
