🚀 AI Career Disruption Assessment

1. Technical Exposure (40% of score)

How much of your job involves tasks AI can already perform. This is based on MIT research showing AI can handle 11.7% of US wage value.

• Routine tasks: Highly exposed (admin, data entry, basic analysis)
• Creative/Complex tasks: Lower exposure (strategy, relationships, complex problem-solving)

2. Skill Preparedness (35% of score)

Whether your current skills position you to work alongside AI rather than compete with it.

• AI-adjacent skills: Lower risk (you're positioned to use AI tools)
• AI-agnostic skills: Moderate risk (you can learn, but starting from behind)
• Routine-only skills: Higher risk (less defensible against automation)

3. Career Position & Adaptability (25% of score)

Your seniority, learning ability, and industry context affect your resilience.

• Senior roles + high learning ability: Lower risk (you have strategic options)
• Entry-level + low learning ability: Higher risk (fewer options, harder pivot)
• Stable industries + strategic thinking: Lower risk

🟢 Low Risk (0-30)

Your role has strong natural defenses against AI automation. This might mean:

• Your work involves complex human interactions or creative thinking
• You're in a field with physical/hands-on components AI can't yet handle
• You already have AI-adjacent skills
• Your seniority gives you strategic leverage

What to do: Stay current on industry trends. Keep developing soft skills and strategic thinking.

🟡 Moderate Risk (30-60)

Your role has some exposure, but strategic action can significantly reduce your risk. This is the most common scenario.

• Some of your tasks are routine and could be automated
• Your role has significant complexity that protects parts of it
• You need to intentionally develop AI-complementary skills
• Your seniority or learning ability gives you options

What to do: Develop AI literacy. Shift toward higher-value tasks. Build complementary skills that AI augments.

🟠 Higher Risk (60-80)

Your role has significant AI exposure and you need proactive skill development. But this doesn't mean your job is going away—it means your job is likely to change.

• Much of your role involves routine/repetitive tasks
• Your industry is early in AI adoption
• You haven't yet developed AI complementary skills
• This might be an opportunity for reinvention

What to do: Invest in skill development NOW. Consider a sabbatical to retrain. Move toward oversight, strategy, or relationship roles.

🔴 Critical Risk (80+)

Your current role is highly vulnerable to AI automation. Immediate action is recommended.

• Your role consists primarily of automatable tasks
• Limited natural career progression in your field
• You need significant reskilling to stay competitive
• BUT: This is also your moment for meaningful career transformation

What to do: This is a perfect moment for a mindful sabbatical. Take time to explore new directions, develop foundational AI literacy, and plan a strategic career shift.
