How exposed is your occupation to generative AI?
See how exposed your occupation is to generative AI, using the ILO's 2025 index, what that means for the work, and which skills to build.
Generative AI exposure
How much of the work generative AI could do or speed up, from the ILO's 2025 index of every ISCO-08 occupation. Exposure means the work may change, not that the job disappears.
Green transition
Whether ESCO lists the occupation as green, and how EU climate and environment policy touches the work.

How the ILO index works
In 2025 the International Labour Organization scored the tasks of each ISCO-08 occupation for how far generative AI could do them, drawing on a survey of 1,640 workers, rounds of expert review and a model trained on their judgements. An occupation’s category follows from the average of its task scores and how much they vary. The index covers 427 occupations.
An occupation counts as exposed when a large share of its tasks scores high. The four gradients separate work where nearly every task is exposed from work where only some are. Exposure means the work may change, not that the job disappears. In the ILO’s words: “As most occupations consist of tasks that require human input, transformation of jobs is the most likely impact of GenAI.”

The ILO categories
- Exposed: gradient 4 of 4
- The highest exposure. Most tasks in this work could be done or sped up by generative AI, and that holds for nearly all of them.
- Exposed: gradient 3 of 4
- Significant exposure. Many tasks could be done or sped up by generative AI, though some are much less exposed.
- Exposed: gradient 2 of 4
- Moderate exposure. Some tasks are exposed and others are not, so the effect is uneven.
- Exposed: gradient 1 of 4
- Low exposure overall, but a few tasks are highly exposed. The work stays mainly human, with AI helping on some tasks.
- Minimal exposure
- Some contact with generative AI is likely, without changing the nature of the work.
- Not exposed
- Most tasks are unaffected by generative AI.
