Jobs most at risk from AI

In AETW's task-exposure scores, the jobs most at risk from AI are data entry (92/100), customer support (88/100) and bookkeeping (84/100), followed by content writers (80/100) and recruiting coord (78/100). Each score reflects how much of a role's day-to-day work AI tools can already automate, not a forecast that the job disappears.

The lowest-exposure roles in the same scores are skilled trades (14/100) and product managers (28/100). They rely on physical work, judgment under uncertainty, or accountability that is hard to hand to a model. See our page on jobs safest from AI for the full list.

Not wholesale. AETW scores software engineers at 45/100, with about 35% of tasks automatable today, mostly routine coding, boilerplate and first drafts. Design, review and system-level decisions still need people, so the role is being reshaped rather than removed.

The most exposed industries in AETW's industry matrix are Software & SaaS (86/100), Customer service (84/100) and Financial Services (80/100). These sectors have the most repeatable, screen-based work that AI agents can take over.

It estimates the share of a role's tasks that current AI tools can automate or heavily assist. A high score means fewer generic seats and more output per person, not zero demand. People who can redesign the workflow and supervise the AI tend to gain.
