How AI interacts with this occupation's task bundle
Task-by-Task Breakdown
Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure
directs or undertakes the preparation, publication and dissemination of reports and other information pertaining to the organisation
AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grammarly can significantly accelerate drafting, editing, and disseminating reports, though senior oversight is needed to ensure accuracy, tone, and strategic alignment.
drives innovation in the working practices of their organisation
AI tools can identify efficiency opportunities, benchmark practices, and generate ideas for process improvement, but driving cultural and operational innovation requires human leadership and change management skills.
organises local authority office work and resources, negotiates contracted out services
AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can assist with scheduling, resource modelling, and contract analysis, but negotiating contracted-out services requires human relationship management and contextual judgment.
plans, organises, coordinates and directs the resources of their organisation
AI-powered project management and analytics tools (e.g., Power BI Copilot, Monday.com AI) can support resource planning and coordination, but strategic direction and organisational leadership remain human responsibilities.
stimulates public interest by providing publicity, giving lectures and interviews
AI tools like ChatGPT or Jasper can help draft speeches, press releases, and talking points, but authentic public engagement, credibility, and media presence depend on the individual's human persona and judgment.
helps to formulate and implement local government policy and ensures legal and statutory provisions are observed
AI can help draft policy briefings or flag regulatory changes, but the political judgment, stakeholder relationships, and accountability required for local government policy remain firmly human.
formulates and directs the implementation of an organisation’s policies
AI can surface data insights and draft policy documents via tools like ChatGPT, but formulating and directing organisational policy requires senior human judgment, ethical reasoning, and accountability.
represents union, association or business in consultation and negotiation with government, employees and other bodies
AI can help prepare briefing materials or analyse negotiation positions, but representing an organisation in high-stakes consultations and negotiations is fundamentally a human interpersonal and political task.

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.
