Task-by-Task Breakdown
Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure
breaks script into scenes and formulates a shooting schedule that will be most economical in terms of time, location and sets
AI scheduling tools like StudioBinder or Movie Magic can automate scene breakdowns and optimise shooting schedules based on location, cast availability, and budget constraints.

AI-powered project management tools like Notion AI or Monday.com can draft and optimise rehearsal and production schedules, flagging conflicts and dependencies automatically.
ensures necessary equipment, props, performers and technical staff are on set when required
AI-integrated production management platforms can track logistics, send automated reminders, and flag resourcing gaps, though human coordination and on-the-ground judgment remain essential.
selects, contracts, markets and arranges for the presentation and/or distribution of performance, visual and heritage arts
AI tools like ChatGPT and Canva AI can assist with marketing copy, audience targeting strategies, and distribution planning, though relationship management and curatorial judgment remain human-led.

AI tools like ChatGPT can assist with evaluating scripts and shortlisting candidates, but the creative judgment, relationship-building, and final hiring decisions remain deeply human.

AI can assist with generating risk assessment documentation and checklists, but legal responsibility, site-specific judgment, and real-time safety decisions require human oversight.

Real-time direction of performers and crew requires physical presence, interpersonal sensitivity, and creative intuition that AI cannot replicate on set.

How is this calculated?▾
Task weights — each task is weighted by its O*NET frequency rating. Where frequency data is absent, equal weighting is applied.
AI time reduction — tasks scored as "AI Automates" assume 80% time saving; "AI Assists" assumes 40%; "Human-Led" assumes 5%.
Salary equivalent — annual hours saved × (salary ÷ 1,800 working hours/year).
Value at risk — salary × share of role time in AI-automate or AI-assist tasks.
