Here's how many Seatle-area jobs are highly vulnerable to AI
In the Seattle metro, nearly 73,000 jobs are considered highly vulnerable to artificial intelligence disruption.
That’s according to new research from the National Bureau of Economic Research and Brookings Institution based on research conducted by economists from nonprofit think tank GovAI, which explored the AI exposure risk for specific roles as well as the capacity of workers in those roles to adapt and find new job opportunities.
The research defined highly vulnerable roles as those which were most ripe for disruption but for which employees were least likely to find comparable new jobs.
In Seattle, 3.1% of local jobs fall into the highly vulnerable category — compared to the national average of 3.9%. The average rate in the nation's 100 largest metro areas is 4%.
