Will AI replace Electronics Engineers, Except Computer?

Transitioning

Baseline AI displacement risk for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer, aggregated from 6 research sources.

What this score means

Electronics Engineers, Except Computer sits in the middle of the exposure range for Engineering. 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 44 out of 100 it scores 8 points above the Engineering average of 36. Across the 6 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 23 to 53, 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
