Which parts of your work can a machine do, and what does that leave you?
AI does not take jobs in one piece. It takes tasks. This guide maps 68 fields of work and 68 everyday tasks onto a simple scale, from machine territory to human ground, so you can see where the pressure is, and where to stand.
Four kinds of ground
Every field and every task on this site sits in one of four bands. It is a heat scale, not a verdict: high exposure means more change is coming, not that you are doomed.
High exposure
The dominant day-to-day tasks are ones current AI does well.
Rising exposure
Exposure is climbing fast; the craft core is moving toward the machine.
Mixed
The field splits: some tasks highly automatable, others firmly human.
Grounded
The dominant tasks depend on presence, the body, trust or accountability.
A few fields, to show the shape
Each field has its own dossier: which tasks are under pressure, which gain value, and the firmer ground to build toward.
Seven signals, read honestly
The numbers in this debate range from 9% to 80%, because they measure different things. These pages hold the evidence, the counter-evidence, and what it means for you.
It is tasks that get automated, not jobs
The single most important distinction in this whole debate.
read the evidence →Exposure is not the same as replacement
Being affected by AI and being replaced by it are different things.
read the evidence →Most real AI use augments, it does not replace
What people actually do with AI, measured, not predicted.
read the evidence →Four MethodKit decks, one question
This guide is built on four card decks. Fields come from Topics, the task scale from Competencies, the safer ground from Future Skills, and the self-audit from Professional Development.
Topics
68 fields of work, one dossier each: the spine of the atlas.
Competencies
68 task verbs, each placed on the exposure scale. The honesty engine.
Future Skills
62 abilities worth building, woven through every dossier as safer ground.
Professional Development
66 cards for the personal audit: the questions to ask yourself.
