Occupation baseline ยท Model 1.0
Is the Aircraft Pilot role AI-proof?
The Aircraft Pilot role has a comparatively lower AI-exposure baseline. AI may still change routine and digital tasks, but human presence, judgment or accountability remain meaningful defenses.
Direct answer
Exposure is not replacement probability
The Aircraft Pilot role has a comparatively lower AI-exposure baseline. AI may still change routine and digital tasks, but human presence, judgment or accountability remain meaningful defenses. The 44/100 figure is an occupation-level starting point. It does not mean that 44% of workers will lose their jobs or that 44% of the role will certainly disappear.

Why your result may differ
A title cannot describe the whole job
Two people called Aircraft Pilot may have different exposure. Routine digital inputs and repeatable rules raise automation pressure. Accountability, trust, unusual cases, physical presence and senior decision-making generally raise resilience. The personal assessment adjusts this baseline around those factors.
Baseline inputs come from the site's compiled occupation dataset. Scores are editorial planning indicators, not official labour-market forecasts. See the methodology, formulas and limitations.
