Built on O*NET tasks, BLS pay and projections, and peer-reviewed AI-exposure research. Sources shown.

What to do about it
Use AI to outpace AI.
Strategies to protect your livelihood, most important first.
1
Use your 5 to 10 year runway
Change here is gradual. Build resilient skills steadily and watch the signals rather than waiting for a shock.
2
Lean into the human edge
The exposed parts are routine and cognitive. Invest in judgment, client relationships, and complex problem-solving that AI still cannot do.
3
Pivot toward Government Property Inspectors and Investigators
It is skill-adjacent and less exposed (35.3 vs 57). A lateral move now beats a forced one later.
4
Build a financial buffer
Keep 6 to 12 months of expenses and diversify your income, so a disruption is a setback rather than a catastrophe.
5
Add a recognised credential
A certification or license raises the bar against automation and signals value in a tightening market.

How this score is calculated
Map Appraisers of Personal and Business Property to its standard O*NET task list (8 core tasks).
Score each task for AI/software exposure (Eloundou et al. 2023) and physical/robotics exposure (an O*NET work-context proxy), each 0 to 100.
The two axis scores are the task averages: AI 57.1, robotics 0.0.
The timeline comes from the higher axis (57.1), shifted for local demand (stable), and seniority. It is read against your remaining working years.
Ranges are about ±12 points. A backtest against real BLS employment change shows the risk ranking holds in aggregate, but individual outcomes are predicted weakly, so results are ranges, never a flat verdict.
Sources: O*NET, Eloundou et al. (2023), GPTs are GPTs, O*NET Work Context, BLS CPI-U, BLS OEWS.
