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).

Superpower

Split-second physical judgment in irreversible situations

Kryptonite

Surgical robots and autonomous vehicles are already in trials

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 — Rigid (R)

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 measured and only output matters — when AI gets the physical capability, the replacement path is clear.

Natural Defenses

Hands-on experience + irreversible consequences = the highest physical-world barrier. Surgeons, pilots, precision builders — errors kill. Regulatory gatekeeping adds decades.
