Task-by-Task Breakdown

Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure

56

conducts medical education relevant to specialism and provides team leadership and supervision

AI Assists

AI tools like ChatGPT or medical education platforms can help generate training materials, case studies, and assessments, while AI scheduling tools can support team coordination and supervision planning.

56

conducts specialised diagnostic tests for a variety of health conditions and advise on treatment

AI Assists

AI diagnostic tools (e.g., AI-assisted imaging analysis, pattern recognition in pathology) can enhance test interpretation accuracy and speed, but specialist oversight and treatment advice require human expertise.

44

diagnoses and treats patients with a variety of hearing-related problems

AI Assists

AI-powered audiological diagnostic tools and machine learning models can assist in interpreting audiograms and identifying hearing loss patterns, but clinical diagnosis and patient counselling remain human-led.

33

provides expert technical and technological support in the delivery of critical care

Human-Led

AI can assist with monitoring alerts and data analysis in critical care (e.g., AI-powered ICU monitoring systems), but the hands-on technical support and real-time clinical judgment remain firmly human-led.

33

provides prosthetic devices to patients and advises on rehabilitation

Human-Led

AI can assist with prosthetic design optimisation and gait analysis software, but fitting, patient assessment, and rehabilitation counselling require hands-on clinical skill and interpersonal judgment.

22

provides high level support within surgical teams before, during and after surgery

Human-Led

AI surgical assistance tools like Proximie can support documentation and planning, but the physical, high-stakes intraoperative support role requires trained human presence and dexterity.

22

operate heart-lung machines during surgical procedures

Human-Led

AI can assist with monitoring perfusion parameters and flagging anomalies, but operating heart-lung machines requires certified perfusionists making real-time life-critical decisions that AI cannot safely replace.

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.
