What is the AI Kill Threshold?

The AI Kill Threshold is a probability (0-100%) indicating how likely your occupation will be replaced by AI. It is calculated using the Swiss Cheese Barrier Model across four independent dimensions: Learnability, Evaluation Objectivity, Risk Tolerance, and Human Presence.

How is the replacement probability calculated?

Using a Weighted Power Mean with r=-2 across four dimensions. Learnability has weight 0.30, Evaluation Objectivity 0.25, Risk Tolerance 0.20, Human Presence 0.25. An additional E+O interaction bonus applies when both knowledge is explicit and evaluation is objective.

What data sources does AIR use?

AIR aggregates from BLS OES 2023 (798 occupations employment data), O*NET (task structure labels), Eloundou et al. 2023 (LLM exposure measurement across 19,265 tasks), OpenAI GDPval (AI vs human expert blind evaluation), and the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report 2025.

How does AIR differ from MBTI?

MBTI measures personality. AIR measures occupational AI-replacement risk. Both use four binary dimensions producing a 4-letter code, but AIR's dimensions are grounded in automation economics literature and the output is backed by employment data from 798 real occupations.

What is the current industry-wide AI replacement rate?

As of 2026, the employment-weighted industry-wide AI replacement rate is 24.7%, calculated as Task Exposure (34.8%, Eloundou et al. 2023) times AI Win Rate vs human experts (71.3%, OpenAI GDPval).

Risk Tier

High Risk

Explicit + Subjective + Flexible + Product: AI can learn, errors are tolerable, only results matter, but quality is subjective

Superpower

Aesthetic judgment and cultural intuition machines can't learn from data

Kryptonite

AI is already generating content that passes the taste test

Four Barrier Dimensions

Learnability — Explicit (E)

Can AI acquire and learn the knowledge and skills your job requires?

Evaluation Objectivity — Subjective (S)

Does your work have a "right answer"? Can quality be objectively measured?

Risk Tolerance — Flexible (F)

If AI makes a mistake, can the consequences be tolerated? Can its output be trusted?

Human Presence — Product (P)

Is your value in "what you produce" or "who you are"?

Why This Profile Is Exposed

Knowledge is learnable, errors are tolerable, and only output matters — AI can iterate endlessly at near-zero cost in these three dimensions.

Natural Defenses

Quality is subjectively judged — "good" depends on taste, context, and cultural nuance. AI struggles with the moving target of subjective standards.
