Do you wake up from that same nightmare in a cold sweat, worried about whether you're going to be replaced at work by the breakdancing restaurant robot? Do you fear getting a calendar invite from your manager, with an HR rep added and — for some reason — Sam Altman?

No? Just me? Well, we might have some help for those fears: a quiz!

It is reasonable — healthy, even — to feel anxiety about what the near future will look like as AI increasingly shapes more of our lives. Underneath conversations about AI — whether they're hopeful, skeptical, or fearful — is one big question: Is my job going to be replaced by AI?

We vibe-coded a simple quiz, loosely based on a database covering what skills and tasks are needed in hundreds of jobs maintained by the US Department of Labor, that will help you figure out how AI-proof your job is — and what you can do to help mitigate your risk.

Here's the quiz:

For example, I, Katie, am a journalist (a role that doesn't require formal credentials) who doesn't manage anyone, and I scored a 68 on the quiz. That puts me in the yellow risk zone. My editor, who does manage people, got a 66. The higher the number, the more your job is potentially exposed to AI. Much to consider.
