How it works

Our Methodology

Transparency matters. Here is exactly how we calculate your AI job displacement score, what the tool actually does under the hood, and the limitations you should know about.

How this tool actually works

AIJobSafe does not pull from a live database or run queries against proprietary labor market data. What it does is apply the reasoning capability of Claude, one of the most sophisticated AI models available, to your specific situation.

Claude has been trained on an enormous body of material covering labor economics, automation research, industry hiring trends, occupational analysis, and the future of work. When you submit your profile, it draws on that knowledge and applies it to your exact combination of role, industry, company size, tasks, and experience. The result is informed judgment, personalized to you, not a generic lookup.

Think of it less like a database query and more like a conversation with someone who has read everything written about AI and work over the last decade, and can apply it to your specific situation in seconds. That is what this tool is. We think being clear about that is more valuable than dressing it up as something it is not.

What makes our score different

Most AI job risk tools give you a generic score based on your job title alone. A "Software Engineer" score is the same whether you are a 22-year-old writing React components at a startup or a 15-year veteran architecting enterprise systems at a bank.

We do not do that. Our score is calculated from five inputs that together paint a much more accurate picture:

Input 1
Job Title
Input 2
Industry
Input 3
Company Size
Input 4
Daily Tasks
Input 5
Experience Level

The daily tasks input is the most important. AI displacement is not about job titles, it is about tasks. A receptionist who spends most of their day on human interaction and relationship management faces different risk than one who spends it on data entry and scheduling. We ask about your actual day, not just your title.

How the score is calculated

Your five inputs are synthesized by Claude, which applies its understanding of how AI is reshaping work to your specific profile and produces a score from 0 to 100 based on the following factors:

Risk level definitions

Score Level What It Means Timeline
0–34 Low Risk Your role has significant human elements that are difficult to automate. AI may assist your work but is unlikely to replace it in the near term. 10+ years
35–64 Medium Risk Parts of your role are already being automated. The humans who stay relevant will be those who adapt and develop skills AI cannot replicate. 3–10 years
65–100 High Risk A significant portion of your core tasks are within current AI capabilities. Upskilling and role evolution are worth prioritizing now. 1–5 years

What this means for accuracy

The score is an estimate, not a measurement. It reflects patterns in how AI is reshaping work across roles and industries, applied to your specific profile.

It will be more useful than a job-title lookup because it accounts for your actual context. It will not be perfectly precise because no tool honestly can be right now. The AI landscape is moving fast, the data on displacement is still emerging, and individual outcomes depend on factors no tool can fully see, including your specific employer, your geography, and your own adaptability.

We think being transparent about that is more useful than projecting false confidence. Use the score as a serious starting point, not a final verdict.

Limitations — what our score cannot do

We believe in being honest about what this tool is and is not. Here are the important limitations:

Important: AIJobSafe scores are estimates based on AI-generated analysis informed by a broad body of research on automation and the future of work. They do not constitute professional career, legal, or financial advice. Individual outcomes vary significantly based on personal circumstances, geographic location, employer decisions, and factors we cannot measure. Use this information as one input among many in your career planning.
