proof reads social media content and checks content of videos before publication on websites

AI Automates

AI tools like Grammarly, brand-monitoring platforms, and video content moderation APIs (e.g. Google Video Intelligence) can automatically proofread text and flag inappropriate video content at scale.

67

tests databases and writes user guides for their operation

AI Assists

AI can auto-generate test queries and draft user documentation from schema definitions using tools like ChatGPT, but humans must validate accuracy and tailor guides to specific user needs.

67

extracts data and assists others in the use of the database

AI Assists

AI tools like Power BI Copilot or ChatGPT with SQL plugins can help generate queries and explain data to non-technical users, though humans must verify outputs and handle complex data requests.

67

writes and publishes content and monitors and maintains functionality of websites

AI Assists

AI writing tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly can draft and optimise web content, while AI site-monitoring tools detect broken functionality, but editorial judgment and publishing decisions remain human-led.

56

assists in database design and creation and amends existing databases

AI Assists

AI tools like GitHub Copilot can generate SQL schemas and suggest database structures, but human judgment is still needed to align design with business requirements and data integrity constraints.

56

administers, monitors and supports databases and website content

AI Assists

AI-powered monitoring tools can flag anomalies, performance issues, and broken links automatically, but human administrators are still needed to interpret alerts and apply fixes.

44

trains colleagues in the use of the databases and websites

AI Assists

AI can generate training materials and answer common how-to questions via chatbots, but effective colleague training requires human communication, patience, and real-time problem-solving.

The portion of your current salary tied to tasks AI can automate or augment. Not a prediction of job loss — a signal of where your role is changing fastest.

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.

Figures are indicative estimates for planning purposes, not guarantees of productivity gain or job loss risk.
