Dystopian and dehumanising: that’s what it felt like when I was interviewed by an AI assistant
Outsourcing the essential task of interviewing job applicants to a machine seems lazy at best, negligent at worst. I want better for all of us Over the past 15 years of my working life, I’ve done a lot of interviews for a lot of different jobs and industries: call centre operator, social media manager, bookseller, copywriter, library worker. Recently, after completing my first year of a masters degree in early childhood and primary teaching, I applied for a preschool education role and experienced a first: being interviewed by AI. I’d heard of this practice and was aware of its shortcomings, from how demoralising it is to the risk of discrimination. Continue reading...
Skills Alliance for the Green, Digital and Social Transformation of the Energy-intensive Industries (Skills4EII)
Project fiche Image Overview Title Skills Alliance for the Green, Digital and Social Transformation of the Energy-intensive Industries (Skills4EII) Abstract The Skills Alliance for the Green, Digital and Social Transformation of the Energy Intensive Industries (Skills4EII) will uptake the results of the European Steel Skills Alliance (ESSA) and the Skills Alliance for Industrial Symbiosis (SPIRE-SAIS) and further develop them. The project will be aligned with the Large-Scale Partnership Energy Intensive Industries (LSP EII) under the Pact for Skills. An essential part is to identify additional cross-sectoral and sector specific skill gaps and address them within (cross-)sectoral contexts and national-regional skills and training ecosystems. Skills4EII creates a common framework integrating specificities of all relevant industries to continuously and proactively adjust the skill needs of

Why this site?
Three datasets in one place
AI exposure by occupation, employment by country and the 2035 outlook used to live on separate sites. Here they meet.
Uncertainty is visible
Every score comes with its spread, every estimate with its method. We don't predict — we measure and show the limits.
Continuously updated
Statistics refresh daily from the public databases of Eurostat, the ILO and the IMF.
Frequently asked questions
Nobody can say — including us. What can be measured is how much of your occupation's tasks generative AI could perform today. High exposure usually means the content of your job will change (other tasks gain weight) rather than the job disappearing. According to the ILO, in most occupations AI augments people rather than replaces them.
The exposure score measures how much of an occupation's tasks generative AI could perform — not whether the job disappears. For information only, not career advice.
