What career transitions reduce AI displacement risk?

The best transitions move workers from high-risk roles to adjacent occupations with lower AI exposure while leveraging similar skills. Transition feasibility is scored by skill overlap and risk reduction.

How are career transition scores calculated?

Transition scores combine skill similarity between occupations with the net risk reduction achieved by moving. Higher scores mean more feasible moves with larger risk improvements.

Best Transition Paths
