How much of your job is AI actually taking? A task level check
Fifty two percent of employed US adults told Pew Research Center in October 2024 that they feel worried about how AI will be used in the workplace in the future, 36 percent said they feel hopeful, and 32 percent expect it to mean fewer job opportunities for them. Only 16 percent said they already use AI for some of their work (Pew Research Center). The worry is well ahead of the use.
Most AI job calculators answer by job title. Two people with the same title can spend their weeks very differently, so this check asks about your week instead: how much of it follows the same steps every time, where a tool already speeds you up, how much is judgement and people, and who decides what the AI does in your work. You get an exposure score from 0 to 100, the part of your week that is most exposed, and one conversation to have this week.
It takes about four minutes and shows your result without an email. If you manage people, say so on the next screen.
AI Task Exposure Check: how much of your job is AI taking
How much of my job is AI actually taking, and what do I do about it this week?
What you get
- Your score out of 100
- Which of the 4 results you land on
- Scores across Replaceable Tasks, Assisted Tasks, Judgement Tasks and Direction
- Your strongest dimension and your gap, and where to start
This check sorts your own weekly tasks by how much AI already does or could do them. It cannot predict whether your role, your employer or your industry will change, and it is not career or financial advice. The figures it compares you against are dated and cited on the statistics page.

Your next move
If you do not manage people
Your full result has the replace, assist and own split, and one question to bring to your manager this week: which of these tasks should we automate first, and what do you want me to do with the time?
If you manage people
Your team could answer these twelve statements about their own weeks. The AI Leader Readiness Index shows how ready you are to decide what the AI does on your team, which is the least exposed position there is.

The four results
Every completed run lands on one of these pages, with your own scores drawn from the link the tool gives you. Each one is readable without taking the tool.
- Task SafeLittle of your week is exposed. Your judgement carries the job.
- Task ShiftedPart of your week is shifting to tools. The core stays yours.
- Task ExposedMost of your week is exposed. Time to reshape it yourself.
- Role ExposedMost of your week is exposed and decided elsewhere. Start with Direction.
Is my job at risk from AI? Signs that sit in tasks, not titles
Search for jobs at risk of AI and you get lists of occupations. A list tells you about the average person with your title. It says little about your week. Two analysts, two recruiters or two project managers can hold the same title and spend their time in very different ways. That is why this check asks about tasks.
- Replaceable tasks. Work that follows the same steps every time, or moves, checks and summarises information. This is where a tool already does the work, or could.
- Assisted tasks. Work a tool makes faster while you stay in charge: first drafts, analysis, research. The open question here is what happens to the time saved.
- Judgement tasks. Decisions with no clear right answer, trade offs, and work with people. The more of your week sits here, the less exposed it is.
- Direction. Whether you decide what the AI does in your work, or find out after it has been decided.
The fourth is the one people leave out, and it is the only one you can change with a single conversation.
How this differs
Most AI job risk tools online are occupation lookups: enter a job title and get one percentage for everyone who holds it. This check works at the level of your own week, scores who decides what the AI does as well as the tasks themselves, never predicts a job loss, and shows the result without an email.
It is not a version of any published exposure index or research model. It is built by a leadership coaching firm, which is why every result ends on the same point: the people least exposed are the ones who decide what the AI does.
What happens to your responses
Your score, your result and your dimension scores are shown on screen without an email address. An anonymous copy of the score and the dimension scores, with no name, email or free text, joins the aggregate statistics for this tool, which are published only when a cut has at least 30 completions. Email is optional. Only if you ask for the result by email is it written to your contact record, and only then. The full rules are on the methodology page.
Common questions
Is my job safe from AI?
No quiz can tell you that, and this one does not try. It sorts the tasks in your week by how much a tool already does or could do them, and shows which part of your week is most exposed. Whether your role changes depends on your employer, your industry and decisions nobody has made yet.
What are the signs my job is at risk from AI?
In task terms: much of your week follows the same steps every time, a tool can already draft much of what you deliver, little of your time goes on decisions and people, and decisions about AI in your work are made without you. This check scores all four and shows which is highest.
How is this different from a will AI replace my job calculator?
Most calculators look up your job title and return one percentage for the whole occupation. Two people with the same title can have very different weeks, so this check asks about your tasks, your judgement and who decides what the AI does in your work.
Should I learn AI tools if my score is low?
Yes, one task at a time. A low score means much of your week is judgement. Knowing first hand what the tools can and cannot do in your work is what lets you decide how they are used, rather than having it decided for you.
I manage people. Why would I take this?
Because your team could answer the same twelve statements about their own weeks, and the least exposed position on the page is the one that decides what the AI does. Take it for yourself, then read the leader view on your result.

The numbers behind this tool
Aggregate results are published at AI Job Exposure Statistics: Task Exposure by Role once a cut reaches 30 completions, under the Workplace Reality Index methodology. It is part of the Workplace Reality Index, which is kept separate from the leader indexes. More free tools are at the tools shelf.
