AI Job Risk Index

Weekly Evaluation Summary

This week’s AI job risk update is broadly stable, with only small relative moves across occupations. The clearest signal for jobs at risk from AI came from Microsoft Scout, positioned as an AI coworker inside Teams that can automate dull office tasks, which slightly raises risk for administrative, support, scheduling, and coordination-heavy roles. At the same time, Microsoft’s reported difficulty selling AI products tempers near-term disruption for some knowledge-work categories, keeping week-to-week changes modest rather than implying a sudden wave of jobs AI will replace. Security and legal headlines also mattered: the Meta support-agent hack highlighted real limits in autonomous customer service, slightly lowering replacement risk for some frontline support roles that still need human judgment, while courts dealing with AI-generated lawsuits increased pressure on document-heavy legal support work. Robotics and biosecurity news were more directional than immediate, supporting a mild increase for repetitive digital QA/testing work but not yet changing the outlook much for hands-on AI-proof jobs in skilled trades, healthcare, field operations, and safety-critical roles.
