Banking and finance
AI automates analysis, reporting and the most routine service; risk judgment, client relationships and regulated decisions stay human.
Key occupations
AI by sector
How AI affects each sector
AI doesn't reach banking the way it reaches construction. Sector by sector: what it already automates, what it doesn't, and the occupations that change most — with real per-occupation exposure data.
Healthcare
AI supports diagnosis, documentation and coordination; clinical decisions, examination and in-person care aren't delegated.
Key occupations
Education and training
AI prepares materials and personalises learning; the teaching relationship, motivation and mentoring don't transfer.
Key occupations
Retail and commerce
AI handles inventory, recommendation and basic service; consultative selling and the in-store experience stay human.
Key occupations
Technology and software
AI generates and reviews code and speeds up design; architecture, product judgment and ownership of the system stay yours.
Key occupations
Industry and manufacturing
AI improves planning, quality and predictive maintenance; physical operation and manual skill stay human.
Key occupations
Legal sector
AI drafts and reviews documents and summarises case law; legal liability, case strategy and client trust don't automate.
Key occupations
Public administration
AI speeds up procedures, casework and citizen service; judgment, exceptions and decisions with public responsibility stay human.
Key occupations
Marketing and communications
AI generates drafts, variations and ideas at speed; your own voice, strategy and editorial judgment are what set you apart.
Key occupations
Hospitality and tourism
AI helps with bookings, inventory and planning; service, preparation and the in-person experience stay human.

Frequently asked questions
- Which sectors are most exposed to AI?
- Knowledge- and screen-intensive ones — banking and finance, technology, legal, administration — lead: much of their work overlaps with what AI already does.
- And the least exposed?
- Those relying on physical presence, manual skill or care — construction, hospitality, industry, in-person healthcare — are the least exposed, for now. AI changes their tools, not their core.
- How is a sector's exposure measured?
- From the occupations that make up each sector and their exposure per AIOE (Felten et al., 2021) and “GPTs are GPTs” (Eloundou et al., 2024). It's an occupation-level estimate, not your exact role.
