Data gathering, calculation and reporting are highly automatable, but interpretation and accountable judgment under uncertainty are not, so exposure is mixed.
Economic work runs on data and judgment: gathering figures, modelling scenarios, reading markets, then deciding what it means and what to do. AI now does much of the collecting, calculating, pattern-spotting and reporting that filled analyst days. Reading context, weighing risk and owning a call under uncertainty stay human. The field splits between the routine analysis and the judgment.

Exposure is not the same as replacement
Being affected by AI and being replaced by it are different things.

Most real AI use augments, it does not replace
What people actually do with AI, measured, not predicted.
→
The forecasts disagree, and that is the point
Anyone giving you one confident number is selling something.
