If you’re worried artificial intelligence is going to take your job, you’re not alone — and it’s not unfounded. 

By 2030, reports estimate 375 million jobs worldwide are at risk, with financial advisors and brokers, insurers and data processors at the top of the list.

A new AI calculator estimates how much of your job today’s AI is equipped to handle. Simply answer six questions about your job and you’ll get back a percentage.

The creators recommend really reflecting on your specific role and the way you do it, not only your title and task list.  

First up, what’s your overall role? 

The calculator has 26 different professions to choose from, including accounting, administrative work, consulting, engineering, finance, information technology, legal, marketing, program and project management, real estate, sales and support.

The next few questions ask you to assess how much of your tasks use skills not suited to AI: intuition or feelings. Some roles rely heavily on things like empathy and listening to your ‘gut feeling.’

Next, how many of your tasks could lead to ‘critical failure’ at a business or organizational level if not done properly? In many cases, the higher the risk, the more important it is a human is the one making those decisions. 

You’ll also need to decide how much of your job is based on knowledge of (written or unwritten) rules or processes. Humans are much more suited than AI to deal with uncertainty and improvising.

Next, how many of your tasks follow a predictable approach in unknown situations? The example here: A pilot’s job has many predictable tasks. A firefighter? Not so much. AI isn’t equipped to think on the fly like a human.

And finally, what organizational level is your job? Options range from Student/Intern to Executive.

The results

We tested out a few roles to see what percentage the calculator says AI can handle.

● Marketing Executive: 67%

● Entry-level Administrative Professional: 86%

● Executive-level Legal: 52%

● Manager-level Engineer: 55%

● Executive-level Sales: 76%

Keep in mind the answers you supply based on your specific job and how you do it will impact the results significantly. Clearly, artificial intelligence is a lot more suited to some roles than others.

Want to use AI in your work? 

If you got a high percentage on the AI job quiz or are simply curious about using artificial intelligence to help you get things done, here are a few places to start:

● Use ChatGPT, Grammarly, WordTune, Microsoft Editor or another grammar and writing aid to proofread your work. Typos and grammar mistakes make you look unprofessional. AI will help you spot mistakes you didn’t notice or might not even know you’re making.

● Automate your ‘dumb’ tasks that don’t require a lot of emotional intelligence, like writing quick emails, formatting your work and analyzing simple data.

● Feeling uninspired? Chatbots are useful for generating ideas and getting you thinking. Try a prompt like ‘Give me five ideas’ for whatever you’re working on, and see if any resonate.

● Automate time-consuming tasks that don’t require a lot of critical thinking. This could include data entry or report generation.

● Put filters, smart replies and spam protection to work to clean up your inbox.

● Not sure how to phrase a request or response? Use ChatGPT or another tool to draft a few options to get you started.

● Improve meeting efficiency with agenda sharing, automated note-taking and scheduling.
