What is AIOE?
The researchers’ way of measuring how AI-exposed a job is. How the number is calculated, why actuaries top the list and dancers are at the bottom, and why exposed doesn’t mean replaced.
AIOE stands for AI Occupational Exposure, and it’s the researchers’ way of measuring how much of a job’s tasks AI could, in principle, handle. The measure comes from research by Felten, Raj, and Seamans, who matched what AI is good at, reading, writing, calculating, recognising patterns, with the skills needed for 774 different jobs. A high score means a lot of the day-to-day work can be done with AI: actuaries, budget analysts, and auditors top the list. A low score means the job needs hands-on work and presence: dancers, bricklayers, and roofers are at the bottom.
The most important thing about the measure is what it doesn’t say. AIOE measures exposure, not destiny. Just because AI can do parts of a job doesn’t mean anyone has decided it should take over. Between those two points lies everything that actually decides the outcome, especially how the workplace adopts the technology. If you work openly with AI, you become the person driving the machine, not the person being compared to it.
If you want to see where your own job lands, EuroWork has a page for each occupation with the exact research figures, searchable in Swedish. You’ll find them under Occupations in the footer.
Your employees are already using AI, often in private accounts where no one sees what gets pasted in. EuroWork gives the same AI help in one place where you are in control: sensitive data is caught before it is sent, processing stays in the EU, every answer shows its price and management sets the rules.
