Weekly AI Job Risk Summary
This week’s AI job risk update is broadly stable, with only small relative moves across occupations. The clearest signal for jobs at risk from AI came from Microsoft Scout, positioned as an AI coworker inside Teams that can automate dull office tasks, which slightly raises risk for administrative, support, scheduling, and coordination-heavy roles. At the same time, Microsoft’s reported difficulty selling AI products tempers near-term disruption for some knowledge-work categories, keeping week-to-week changes modest rather than implying a sudden wave of jobs AI will replace. Security and legal headlines also mattered: the Meta support-agent hack highlighted real limits in autonomous customer service, slightly lowering replacement risk for some frontline support roles that still need human judgment, while courts dealing with AI-generated lawsuits increased pressure on document-heavy legal support work. Robotics and biosecurity news were more directional than immediate, supporting a mild increase for repetitive digital QA/testing work but not yet changing the outlook much for hands-on AI-proof jobs in skilled trades, healthcare, field operations, and safety-critical roles.
This Week in Context
These paragraphs turn the weekly table into a readable explanation of where automation pressure broadened, narrowed, or stayed steady.
The weekly average risk moved upward, which suggests pressure broadened rather than staying isolated to only a few roles.
The clearest upward pressure appeared in Scheduler, Software Tester, Office Clerk. Moves like these often show where AI is taking on more repeatable drafting, comparison, coordination, or first-pass analytical work.
Relative pressure eased most in Call Center Agent, Customer Support Representative, Customer Support. That does not make these roles permanently safe, but it does suggest this week's signals were less aggressive than in the roles moving upward.
Economist, Urban Farmer, Project Manager changed little and help anchor the baseline for this week. Stable roles matter because they show where the ranking is holding its shape even while other parts of the market move.
Read these paragraphs together with the linked news and the full ranking. The point is not a one-week prediction of replacement, but a clearer view of where automation pressure is concentrating first.

Trend
The chart shows how the overall weekly average has moved. It helps separate a broad market shift from changes limited to a smaller set of jobs.
Where Pressure Rose First
These jobs posted the strongest upward moves this week. Read them as signs of where automation pressure is tightening fastest right now.
Where Pressure Eased
These jobs moved downward this week. A lower score does not mean the role is safe forever, but it does suggest less immediate pressure relative to the prior week.
Roles That Stayed Relatively Steady
These jobs changed little this week and help anchor the broader picture. Stability often matters as much as movement when judging whether a shift is broad or narrow.
This Week Ranking
Use the full ranking as a current snapshot of relative pressure across jobs. The score alone matters less than the combination of score, week-over-week change, and the task mix behind the role.
