What this means
AIQ Score 70/100 — Act Now. Your work has a relatively high exposure to AI-driven change.
Desk journalism is automating; original reporting is not. The field reporter with sources and an audience holds the durable position.
The AIQ Score measures how exposed your work is to AI-driven change. It is presented on a 0–100 scale, with higher scores indicating greater exposure.
This Journalist score is the market average. Your own exposure depends on the tasks you actually do.
