What this means
AIQ Score 50/100 — Exposed. A meaningful share of your work is exposed to AI-driven change.
Demand is rising as every enterprise moves AI workloads to cloud. The judgement layer — cost, risk, vendor strategy — remains firmly human.
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 Cloud Architect score is the market average. Your own exposure depends on the tasks you actually do.
