Will AI replace my job?

It depends on your occupation and specific tasks. Computer programmers (75% task coverage), customer service reps (70%), data entry keyers (67%), telemarketers (65%), and proofreaders (63%) face the highest AI displacement risk according to Anthropic's 2026 research. Physical and high-empathy roles like electricians and massage therapists score under 10 out of 100.

Which jobs are most at risk from AI automation in 2026?

The highest-risk occupations by AI task coverage: Computer Programmers (75%), Customer Service Representatives (70%), Data Entry Keyers (67%), Telemarketers (65%), Proofreaders (63%), Tax Preparers (62%), Financial Analysts (60%), Paralegals (58%), Medical Transcriptionists (57%), Bookkeeping Clerks (55%). All data is sourced from Anthropic's Economic Index and O*NET task databases.

Which jobs are safe from AI replacement?

Jobs with very low AI exposure include: Physical Therapists (score 15/100), Chef / Head Cook (12), Electrician (9), Plumber (7), Firefighter (6), Bartender (4), Lifeguard (3), Agricultural Worker (2), Massage Therapist (2). These roles require physical presence, empathy, and real-world dexterity that AI cannot currently replicate.

Is AI causing unemployment in 2026?

As of early 2026, no statistically significant unemployment increase has been found for AI-exposed workers overall. However, Anthropic's research documents a 14% drop in new hiring for workers aged 22–25 entering high-exposure occupations post-ChatGPT. Entry-level white-collar workers are the most affected demographic.

How is the AI job risk score calculated?

The score (0–100) combines three data sources: the O*NET task database (800+ US occupations), the Anthropic Economic Index (real Claude professional usage patterns from Aug/Nov 2025), and Eloundou et al. beta exposure scores. Fully automated use is weighted 1.0× and AI-augmented use is weighted 0.5×. A score of 75+ means AI can handle most of the role's tasks.

Do higher-paid workers face more AI risk?

Yes — this is a reversal of historical automation patterns. Anthropic's 2026 research found that higher-wage occupations, particularly those requiring cognitive and analytical skills, face significantly higher AI exposure than lower-wage physical jobs. Workers in the top wage quartile are 3× more exposed than those in the bottom quartile.

How Your Score Is Built

800+ occupations, task-by-task

Every score starts with O*NET's task database — 800+ US occupations broken into specific tasks with time-weight estimates from the Dept. of Labor.

Real AI usage patterns, not hypotheticals

We layer in the Anthropic Economic Index: actual Claude usage in professional contexts from Aug and Nov 2025 — real displacement evidence.

Eloundou β scores for task feasibility

Each task is scored by theoretical LLM feasibility (β=1.0 means AI is 2× faster alone; β=0.5 needs tools; β=0.0 is not yet feasible). Weighted and combined.

What the Research Actually Found

No mass unemployment — yet

No statistically significant rise in unemployment for AI-exposed workers as of early 2026. But the early signal is clear in new hiring data.

Young graduates are the first casualty

Workers aged 22–25 entering high-exposure fields show a 14% drop in job-finding rate since ChatGPT — the clearest displacement signal yet.

Higher pay = higher risk (the new reality)

Exposed workers earn 47% more on average. Graduate degrees are 3.9× more common. AI is disrupting white-collar work first — not blue-collar.

Every 10 exposure points costs jobs

Each 10pp of AI task coverage correlates with 0.6pp less projected employment growth (BLS 2024–2034). The signal is slow, but compounding.

This uses real AI usage data — not guesses

Unlike prior models, scores are built from real Claude professional usage in Aug/Nov 2025 — not theoretical task-feasibility models.

60% coverage ≠ 60% job loss

Task bundling is the key insight: if the other 40% requires physical presence, legal accountability, or emotional intelligence — the role survives.
