Will AI replace Engineers, All Other?

Transitioning

Baseline AI displacement risk for Engineers, All Other, aggregated from 3 research sources.

What this score means

Engineers, All Other 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 42 out of 100 it scores 6 points above the Engineering average of 36. Across the 3 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 38 to 45, 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
