Automation Risk Score

What it is for

The automation risk score helps you think about how much of your day-to-day work could be done by machines or software. You rate four characteristics of your job and get a score and a risk band. It is meant for professionals curious about the future of work, not as a prediction about your employment.

How it works

You score four factors from 0 to 10: routine, creativity required, people interaction and physical dexterity. The formula multiplies the routine score by 10, then subtracts five times creativity, three times people interaction and two times dexterity. The result is capped between 0 and 100. Below 34 the risk is low, from 34 to 66 it is medium, and from 67 up it is high.

Worked example

Someone rates routine 8, creativity 3, people interaction 2 and dexterity 1. The math is 80 minus 15, minus 6, minus 2, which gives 57. Since 57 falls between 34 and 66, the band is medium risk. If creativity were 7 instead, the score would drop to 37.

Limits and caveats

This is a simplified self-assessment made for reflection. It does not predict whether a profession will disappear and does not replace career advice. The ratings are subjective, and the formula ignores your industry, employer or the pace of technology.

Frequently asked questions

Will my job be replaced by artificial intelligence?

This tool cannot answer that. Based on your ratings, it shows how routine your tasks are compared with how creative, social and physical they are. It is a reflection exercise, and reality depends on many outside factors.

Which tasks are easiest to automate?

Generally the repetitive and predictable ones, which is why the routine score carries the most weight. Creativity, dealing with people and physical dexterity lower the score in this formula, because they are harder to replace.

What should I do if my score came out high?

Treat it as a warning, not a verdict. Look for ways to grow the parts of your work that involve judgment, creativity or relationships, and build skills that complement technology. Talk with mentors or career advisers in your field too.
