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

Tacit + Objective + Flexible + Product: Clear standards, fixable errors, results-only, but needs physical experience

Superpower

Physical dexterity and embodied knowledge gained through years of practice

Kryptonite

Robotics is catching up — and robots don't get tired

Four Barrier Dimensions

Learnability — Tacit (T)

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

Evaluation Objectivity — Objective (O)

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

Work is objectively evaluated, errors are fixable, and only the output matters — AI can match or exceed human quality in measurable, forgiving domains.

Natural Defenses

Your knowledge is tacit — learned through years of hands-on physical experience that AI cannot yet acquire through data alone. This buys significant time, especially pre-AGI.

Sample Career Risk Scores

Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers
Unstructured physical environments resist full automation — warehouse robots still need human oversight
2
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers
Long-haul autonomous vehicles emerging but full deployment still requires regulatory and safety validation
2
Stockers and Order Fillers
Picking and placing in varied retail environments — robotics advancing but not yet cost-effective everywhere
2
Janitors and Cleaners
Varied surfaces, obstacles, and standards make full robotic cleaning commercially limited
2
Maintenance and Repair Workers, General
Diagnostic and hands-on repair in unpredictable physical situations — judgment and dexterity required
2
Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers
Outdoor, seasonally varied physical work — robotic mowers exist but full automation remains limited
