AI Automation Risk Index: 65 Roles Ranked by AI Exposure (2026)

How exposed is your job to AI? Role Compass ranks 65 professions by how much of their core work today’s AI tools can perform — High, Moderate, or Lower exposure. Each role links to a full breakdown of the tasks being automated vs. augmented, near- and mid-term timelines, and a personalized 12-week action plan.

High exposure — 15 roles

A large share of core tasks is highly automatable — these roles are changing the fastest.

Moderate exposure — 26 roles

A meaningful portion of the work shifts to AI, but the role is augmented rather than replaced.

Lower exposure — 24 roles

AI accelerates the work, but human judgment, physical skill, and accountability keep these roles human-led.
