What this means
AIQ Score 70/100 — Act Now. Your work has a relatively high exposure to AI-driven change.
AI generates configs and runbooks well, but accountability for uptime cannot be delegated. The role shifts from writing pipelines to governing them.
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 DevOps Engineer score is the market average. Your own exposure depends on the tasks you actually do.
