Every job we score · release 2026-Q4

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

Scores run 0 to 100: 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.

How to read a row: the number is the Still needs a human score, out of 100, higher is safer; “AI replace?” is our answer to “Will AI replace this job?”; the bar is the task split: white AI does it, grey AI helps, amber needs a human.
