Legislators
In the ILO's assessment few of the job's tasks can be done by generative AI, or the scores are too spread out to reach gradient 1 — generative AI does not meaningfully take over the core of the work.
Exposure is not job loss: it shows how much of the work generative AI could do today. Whether that turns into transformation, productivity gains or cuts depends on employers, regulation — and on you.
0 = today’s generative AI cannot perform any of the job’s tasks, 100 = it could do all of them fully. The pale band is the spread across tasks.

Task by task
The ILO scored every task of the occupation separately, as the average of two AI models (GPT-4o and Gemini). The pale band is the range between the two models' scores, the dot the ILO's final score (for a few tasks expert review placed it outside the band).
- Determining, formulating and directing policies of national, state, regional or local governments36
- Investigating matters of concern to the public and promoting the interests of the constituencies which they represent35
- Presiding over or participating in the proceedings of legislative bodies and administrative councils of national, state, regional or local governments or legislative assemblies34
- Attending community functions and meetings to provide service to the community, understand public opinion and provide information on government plans34
- As members of the government, directing senior administrators and officials of government departments and agencies in the interpretation and implementation of government policies.33
- Making, ratifying, amending or repealing laws, public rules and regulations within a statutory or constitutional framework29
- Negotiating with other legislators and representatives of interest groups in order to reconcile differing interests, and to create policies and agreements26
- Serving on government administrative boards or official committees25
