Will AI replace Information Technology Project Managers?

Transitioning

Baseline AI displacement risk for Information Technology Project Managers, aggregated from 7 research sources.

What this score means

Information Technology Project Managers sits in the middle of the exposure range for Technology. 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 50 out of 100 it scores 5 points below the Technology average of 55. Across the 7 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 38 to 60, 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
