6+ YearsMarket Context
Khan Academy Khanmigo provides AI tutoring as a supplement, not a replacement. Gradescope AI handles structured grading. However, classroom management, social-emotional development, safeguarding detection, mentoring, and cultural/community connection remain irreducibly human. WEF identifies education as among sectors least likely to see role replacement. The academic integrity challenge (AI-generated student work) is creating a new human task of detection and assessment redesign. Growing demand for AI-literate educators.

Task Breakdown — Time Allocation vs. Vulnerability
Highest Exposure Areas
Writing / Summarising / Documentation
GPT-5 Deep Research and Claude already produce publication-quality reports, emails, and documentation. By 2027, AI writing assistants will handle first-draft creation for virtually all standard business documents with minimal human input.
Creative Strategy / Ideation
AI is now a capable first-draft strategist and ideation partner. The defensible part is synthesis of proprietary market context, stakeholder knowledge, and taste. That protection degrades when the context can be codified or when AI gains sufficient domain exposure.
Customer / Stakeholder Communication
AI agents are now handling routine customer communication autonomously. The protection in this task comes from novel relationship context and trust — which erodes when your client interactions become standardised or when AI gains sufficient context to replicate the pattern.
Strongest Defenses
Relationship Management / Trust Building
This is the false moat most people rely on. Relationship trust is real protection today — it erodes when: (a) clients become comfortable trusting AI-mediated interactions, (b) your relationship context becomes standardisable, or (c) your firm deploys AI account management tools that clients prefer for speed.
Leadership / Coaching / People Management
Human leadership and coaching remains deeply defensible — but the surrounding administrative work (performance reviews, progress tracking, development planning templates) is being absorbed. The erosion condition: as headcount decreases due to AI efficiency, fewer leadership roles exist even if the function remains human.

The average Teacher / Educator scores 22/100 risk. But your specific role, environment, and task allocation could be higher or lower. Get your personalised score in ~4 minutes.
Decision-Making Under Uncertainty
This remains one of the most defensible task categories — AI struggles with genuine novelty and accountability. The erosion condition: as AI decision-support tools become standard, the bar for what counts as 'genuine uncertainty' rises, and roles that mostly execute defined playbooks lose this protection.
