Will your occupation be replaced by AI?
Will you as a postal worker be replaced by AI?
More exposed than 17 % of the 774 occupations in the research
Walking the same route every day, recognizing customers, and making sure the mail ends up in the right box is something AI can’t take over, which is why the score is so low. But there are still boring tasks like writing reports on missed deliveries or summarizing customer feedback, where things can get a little easier. In EuroWork, for example, you can input a stack of handwritten notes about changed addresses and get back a neat list in five minutes, so you don’t have to type it all yourself.
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.
