What this means
The exposure score (51.8/100) measures how much of Arkansas's workforce is in jobs that AI can automate or significantly change. It's not a prediction that jobs will disappear — it's a measure of how exposed the local economy is to AI-driven change.
How it works: We score 289 occupations from 0 (AI has little impact) to 100 (AI can do most of the job) using 10 research sources. We then match these scores to real employment data for Arkansas, weighting by how many people actually work in each role.
High-risk jobs (score 60+) include roles like customer service, data entry, and bookkeeping where AI can already handle most tasks. Low-risk jobs (score under 30) include trades, healthcare, and social work where physical presence or human judgement is essential.
