Task-by-Task Breakdown
Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure
advises and provides information on military aspects of defence policy
AI tools like ChatGPT or defence-specific analytical platforms can synthesise intelligence reports, model policy scenarios, and draft briefing documents, but final advisory judgement requires human strategic and political understanding.
plans, directs and co-ordinates military training and manoeuvres
AI-powered simulation and wargaming tools (e.g. JCATS, synthetic training environments) can model complex scenarios and optimise training schedules, but human commanders must interpret outcomes and adapt plans to real-world conditions.
plans, directs and administers aid to civilian authorities as requested or when faced with civil disorder, natural disaster or other emergency
AI tools can support disaster response planning through predictive modelling, resource allocation optimisation, and real-time situational awareness (e.g. Palantir platforms), but command decisions in dynamic civil emergencies require human accountability and adaptability.
supervises the operation of military units and monitors the activities of junior officers, NCOs and other ranks
AI can assist with performance tracking dashboards and administrative reporting, but effective supervision of military personnel requires physical presence, leadership authority, and real-time human judgement that AI cannot replicate.

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.
