High exposure
Logistics
moving things, locally & globally
The dominant tasks are structured data, scheduling and documentation work that current AI and automation do well, so exposure is high.
Logistics is planning and tracking at scale: routing shipments, scheduling fleets, matching supply to demand, reconciling paperwork. Much of this is structured data work, and AI plus automation now does the forecasting, routing, sorting and documentation that defined the desk job. Exception-handling, supplier relationships and on-the-ground judgment remain, but the routine planning core is highly exposed.

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.
→
It is tasks that get automated, not jobs
The single most important distinction in this whole debate.
