Study Finds AI Models Disagree on Which Jobs Are Most Vulnerable to Automation

A recent study by researchers from Northwestern and American Universities examined how advanced AI models—ChatGPT-5, Gemini 2.5, and Claude 4.5—predict job vulnerability to automation. The findings, published on the National Bureau of Economic Research website, reveal significant disagreements among these AI tools, especially regarding supervisory and mixed cognitive-physical roles. While physical jobs showed more consensus, professions like accounting and advertising management received varied risk assessments, highlighting the unreliability of AI-generated exposure scores for forecasting job losses.
