Task-by-Task Breakdown

Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure

67

arranges for payment of bills, keeps accounts and ensures adherence to licensing and other statutory regulations

AI Assists

AI-powered accounting tools like Xero or QuickBooks with AI features can automate bill processing, flag compliance issues, and generate financial reports, significantly reducing manual effort while humans retain responsibility for regulatory sign-off.

56

analyses demand and decides on type, standard and cost of services to be offered

AI Assists

AI tools like revenue management systems (e.g. IDeaS, Duetto) and predictive analytics can model demand patterns and suggest pricing strategies, but final decisions on service standards require human judgment and local market knowledge.

56

determines financial, staffing, material and other short- and long-term needs

AI Assists

AI-powered forecasting tools and workforce management platforms (e.g. Deputy, Planday with AI features) can model staffing and resource needs, but managers must weigh qualitative factors, relationships, and strategic priorities.

44

approves and arranges shipboard entertainment and shore trips and liaises with ship’s agent to ensure that ship is adequately provisioned

AI Assists

AI can help research entertainment options, generate itinerary suggestions, and draft communications with agents, but coordinating logistics, negotiating with suppliers, and ensuring guest satisfaction still requires human oversight and relationship management.

22

ensures physical comfort of residents or passengers and makes special arrangements for children, the elderly and the infirm if required

Human-Led

This is fundamentally a human-centred, physical task requiring empathy and real-time responsiveness; AI can assist with flagging special guest requirements via property management systems but cannot replace personal care and attention.

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.
