What We're Showing
This infographic ranks the 40 jobs most exposed to AI, based on Microsoft’s analysis of how frequently AI is used for job-related tasks, how successfully it completes them, and how applicable AI is to each role overall.
Methodology
Microsoft assessed AI exposure using three indicators derived from Copilot usage across 200,000 anonymized conversations:
- Coverage: How frequently tasks associated with a job appear in Copilot conversations
- Completion: How often Copilot successfully completes those tasks
- Overall AI Applicability Score: A combined measure of how suitable AI is for supporting or performing tasks in a given role
Key Takeaways
- Language-heavy and information-based roles rank as the most exposed to generative AI
- Interpreters, historians, writers, and customer service roles show the highest AI applicability scores
- Technical roles such as data scientists, web developers, and management analysts are also exposed to AI
- Exposure does not equal replacement, and many roles are more likely to be augmented with AI
