Question 1

What does the AI exposure figure mean?

Accepted Answer

It is Jobs and Skills Australia's automation exposure score for this role's occupation group, from Jobs and Skills Australia, Our Gen AI Transition (2025). JSA publishes it from 0 to 1; we show it out of 100. A higher score means more of the group's work is exposed to automation by generative AI. It does not mean the job will disappear. We call a score of 60 or more high exposure, 40 to 59 medium, and under 40 low.
