against AI Exposed: Gradient 2

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 55.3, while the average is 48.1. 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.
