Every job we score · release 2026-Q4

Every job, ranked by how much still needs a human.

Higher is safer. Each row shows the verdict, the share of the work that still needs a person, what AI can do today, how good the evidence is and when replacement could happen, always as a range. Click a job for the working.

Scores are 0 to 100. “Still needs a human” is higher-is-safer; “Can AI do it?” is the share of task time AI can handle today. Grade D means there is no direct test of AI against people in that job yet, so no parity number is shown. How we score · Download the data
