68.7
Holds up
against AI Not Exposed

AI could take on 31.3 of 100, on average
so it holds up at 100 − 31.3 = 68.7

That's the whole sum, and you can check it against the ILO's study.

What this number leaves out There's no close match for this job in the US data, so we can't say how hands-on it is. The score above only looks at AI tools.

The tasks behind the score

The score is the average of these. A job is really a bundle of tasks, and an average can hide how uneven that bundle is.

The task AI could do most of scores 35.8, while the average is 31.3. A big gap means some of this job is wide open to AI and some of it barely at all. That's quite different from a job where everything sits somewhere in the middle, even when the averages match.
