Will AI replace Team Assemblers?

Lower risk

Baseline AI displacement risk for Team Assemblers, aggregated from 9 research sources.

What this score means

Team Assemblers is among the least exposed roles in Manufacturing. Most of what the job involves still sits outside what current AI can do, even as the tools around it keep changing. At 23 out of 100 it scores 4 points above the Manufacturing average of 19. Across the 9 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 5 to 48, 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
