Civil engineer versus Registered nurse
Civil engineer
70 / 100
Mostly holds up against AI
AI can take a few chores off your plate, but most of the day is still yours.
Not the odds you keep your job. It's how much of the everyday work still needs a person, out of 100.
The ILO's official verdict: Not Exposed

The ILO's official verdict: Not Exposed
Pretty much a draw: just 5 points apart. The interesting part is how differently they get there.
What's behind the numbers
The headline number is the least interesting part. Here's where the real difference is.
- How much AI could help with AI helps
- 74 67
- How much AI could do without you AI takes over
- 33 30
- How much the job needs hands, a body or being there Hands-on
- 16 61
Usually good news: more of the work gets quicker without the job going away.
This is what most people mean by “exposed”. We keep it apart from helping on purpose.
Software can't do hands-on work, but robots might one day. How far they've got isn't on this site, because nobody measures it well enough yet.
