AI Job Replacement
in 2026

Most coverage of "AI replacing jobs" frames it at the wrong altitude. The unit of replacement isn't the job — it's the task. A paralegal job is a bundle of maybe 40 distinct tasks: drafting, reviewing, filing, calendaring, client intake, deposition prep, redaction. AI is replacing the first three of those today. The other 37 are still human. The job hasn't disappeared; it's been re-bundled.

That re-bundling is what we measure here. For each occupation we've decomposed the role into its constituent O*NET tasks, scored each task individually for current LLM capability, and rolled the result back up to a 0-100 occupation score with a months-not-years time window. Anthropic's Economic Index uses the same task-level lens — see the Economic Index methodology for the broader framing.

The 50 occupations below are a representative cross-section across the risk spectrum — from near-fully-automatable to barely-touched. Find your role, see which tasks are exposed, and use the free 2-minute assessment to get a personalised task-by-task breakdown for your specific situation.
