Will AI replace Business Intelligence Analysts?

What this score means

Business Intelligence Analysts is among the more exposed roles in Technology. A large share of the work, especially its routine and text-heavy parts, is already within reach of current AI, though the harder judgment calls still need a person. At 67 out of 100 it scores 9 points above the Technology average of 58. Across the 4 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 51 to 91, 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
