That's a real question. Let's give you a real answer. A 60-second decision tree, the 20 highest-risk roles right now, and a free 2-minute assessment that scores your specific role and shows you the closest pivot paths.
That's a real question. Let's give you a real answer. If you're asking whether AI will take your job, you've already done the hardest part — you're paying attention. Most people aren't, and they'll be the ones blindsided when the displacement curve hits their industry.
You don't need a 40-page McKinsey report. You need three honest questions.
1. Is most of your day spent producing or processing documents? Drafting, reviewing, summarising, reconciling, classifying, routing. If yes — your role is high exposure. Large language models do this work at or above median human level today, and the cost is collapsing month-over-month.
2. Could a competent person do your job remotely, with just a laptop and the right access? If yes, the marginal economics favour automation: there's no physical-presence moat. If no — you're standing on a roof, stitching a wound, calming a child in care, fixing a boiler — your role is low exposure for at least the next 5–10 years.
3. Does a regulator, court, or licensing body require a named human to take responsibility? Lawyers signing pleadings, doctors signing prescriptions, CPAs signing audits, structural engineers signing drawings. If yes, there's a legal moat — AI can draft the work, but it can't be the licensed person. Substantially protected, even when the underlying tasks are automatable.
The brutal honesty: most knowledge work scores 'yes' on question 1 and 'yes' on question 2. If that's you, the question stops being whether AI will affect your job and becomes which adjacent role you should be moving toward, starting now.
Personalised exposure score for your specific role, plus the 3 closest pivot paths your existing skills already qualify you for. Free. No signup. Two minutes.
Get your personalised score →If your role is on this list, the 2-minute assessment gives you a personalised score plus pivot paths. If it's not on this list, that doesn't mean you're safe — it means you're not in the top 20. The full index covers 333 occupations.
Honestly: directionally accurate, not point-precise. Our scores are built from O*NET task decompositions, Anthropic's Economic Index data on actual AI usage by occupation, and procurement signals from the firms that employ each role. We tell you whether you're in the high-exposure bucket or the low-exposure bucket with high confidence. We don't tell you the exact month your job ends — nobody honest can. Read the methodology for limitations.
Take the assessment anyway — it covers 333 occupations and ~150 aliases. If we still don't have your exact title, the assessment matches you to the closest role and gives you a usable score. If your role is genuinely niche and not represented, email us and we'll add it.
Don't panic, and don't ignore it. The single most useful move: identify 2–3 adjacent roles your existing skills already qualify you for, and start building visible signal in that direction (a project, a certification, a side engagement) while you still have the runway. The free assessment gives you those pivot paths automatically. If you want a deeper plan — skill-gap analysis, named employers, 90-day actions — that's the £29 Blueprint.
