Is Your Job AI-Proof? This Calculator Might Have The Answer
Listen up, tech enthusiasts and job holders alike. The future of work is here, and it’s got a silicon brain. Artificial intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction. It’s real, it’s here, and it’s potentially coming for your job.
The AI Job Apocalypse: Fact or Fiction?
By 2030, it’s estimated that a whopping 375 million jobs worldwide could be at risk due to AI. The most vulnerable? Financial advisors, brokers, insurers, and data processors. But before you start panicking and dusting off your resume, there’s a tool that might help you gauge just how much danger you’re in.
Meet The AI Job Calculator
This nifty little AI calculator is designed to estimate how much of your job could be handled by today’s AI. All you need to do is answer six questions about your role, and voila, you get a percentage. But don’t just think about your job title or task list. Reflect on your specific role and how you do it.
The Questions That Determine Your AI Risk
The calculator asks you to consider each major task that you regularly do as part of your job. It’s not just about what you do, but how you do it. For instance, how many tasks in your job will necessarily fail without the use of intuition or feelings? How many tasks in your job will lead to business, organizational, or other critical failure if not done properly? How many tasks in your job follow some kind of rules or processes? How many tasks in your job follow a predictable approach in unknown situations? And finally, at what organizational level do you operate?
The Results: Are You Replaceable?
We tested out a few roles to see what percentage the calculator says AI can handle. Marketing Executive: 67%. Entry-level Administrative Professional: 86%. Executive-level Legal: 52%. Manager-level Engineer: 55%. Executive-level Sales: 76%. The results vary significantly based on the specifics of your job and how you do it.
Embracing AI in Your Work
If you got a high percentage on the AI job quiz or are simply curious about using artificial intelligence to help you get things done, there are a few places to start. Use AI to proofread your work, automate ‘dumb’ tasks, generate ideas, automate time-consuming tasks, clean up your inbox, draft responses, and improve meeting efficiency.
