Will AI replace Biological Scientists, All Other?

What this score means

Biological Scientists, All Other sits in the middle of the exposure range for Research & Science. Routine parts of the job are starting to automate, but much of it still depends on judgment, relationships, and context that today's models handle poorly. At 47 out of 100 it scores 6 points above the Research & Science average of 41. Across the 3 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 40 to 54, so the score is a weighted consensus rather than any single figure.

The number is a consensus estimate for the typical version of the role, built from published academic and industry research scored occupation by occupation. It is not a prediction about any individual. How scoring works
