AIQ Score 70/100 — Act Now. Your work has a relatively high exposure to AI-driven change.
AutoML and AI copilots compress the mechanical 70% of the job. Data scientists who frame the right questions and defend conclusions stay in demand; pure model-tuners commoditise.
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 Data Scientist score is the market average. Your own exposure depends on the tasks you actually do.
