Transforming · 10 careers: the daily work is being reinvented, and new kinds of roles are appearing

The line runs from changes little (left) to changes a lot (right). Dots, 0 to 3: how much hands-on work, in-person care and a licence protect the work. Open a career for its reasoning.

How the score works

The bands: behind each dot is a robustness score from 0 to 100 (the dot sits at 100 minus the score). Steady is 60 or more, Evolving 35 to 59, Transforming under 35: the left, middle and right of the line. AI robustness (0-100) = 50% published task-exposure research (inverted) + 50% three protective factors scored 0-3 by MatricMap: hands-on physical work, in-person human care and trust, and legal accountability (a licensed person must sign off). Exposure is the average of each occupation’s percentile among all US occupations in two peer-reviewed datasets.
Task exposure: the share of a job's tasks that AI tools can already help with. High exposure means the way the work is done will change, not that the job goes away.
Reinvented, not removed: routine tasks shrink, people who learn to direct AI tools become far more productive, and new kinds of roles appear. Steady careers are not untouched either: AI is already taking over paperwork in medicine and nursing.
The dots are MatricMap's own judgement, scored 0 to 3; each career's reasoning shows when you hover over its row.
Sources: the exposure figures come from published research on the United States labour market, used as the best available proxy for the same professions elsewhere. The bands are MatricMap's estimate, not a forecast of jobs or pay, and nobody can predict this with certainty.
