Why This Score

AI Capability Overlap Increases risk

63% of tasks overlap with current AI

Human Coordination Reduces risk

61% human advantage from judgment & presence

Local Hiring Demand Reduces risk

57% demand buffer from SG labour market

Observed AI Adoption Reduces risk

AI usage 17pp below theoretical exposure

These factors combine multiplicatively — larger bars do not mean proportionally larger contributions to the final score.

Net Displacement Risk 20%

Blended across 2 occupations using the same score logic as an occupation page. How this works

Tasks AI can handle

Generating visual concepts, creating layout variations, producing mockups from descriptions, and automating repetitive design tasks like resizing.

Where humans stay essential

Understanding user needs through research, making aesthetic judgments that reflect brand identity, designing for emotional impact, and iterating based on nuanced feedback.

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This is a blended estimate of how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

This estimated role shows some offset potential, but it depends on demand and transition pathways holding up across the blended occupation set.

Demand support: Low Transition support: Medium Reallocation room: High Switching friction: High

What helps

  • A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.

What could slow it down

  • Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.

Blended from 2 component occupations. This remains a heuristic support layer rather than a direct measure of realised reinstatement.

Blended from 2 component occupations; anchored on Product and industrial designer.
