Can you be adaptable or are you going to remain exposed to AI in you profession

There is some really good research starting to come out, that does not just focus on where AI will be best suited to replace jobs, but also how adaptable the skills in that job are to change.

How Adaptable Are American Workers to AI-Induced Job Displacement (Jan 2026)

The chart below shows how 356 U.S. occupations sit across two dimensions: AI exposure and adaptive capacity. I then also added in gender data and age data to see if there was any interesting correlations, and I think there are a few, and if you click on the stories you can see them.Roles further right face more exposure to AI-driven change, while roles higher on the chart have stronger capacity to adapt through transferable skills and work patterns.

Bubble size reflects employment and colour highlights vulnerability. Use the story chips to jump between sectors, job families, and workforce cohorts, then explore which occupations combine high exposure with weaker adaptive capacity.
