AI work map
A fast read on where AI already shows up in this occupation, where it stays a copilot,
where humans remain in the loop, and what the labor market is doing. Built from observed
Claude.ai conversations mapped to O*NET tasks and from published research — measures of
usage and exposure, not advice or predictions that the job is going away.

AI & job outlook
What today's research says about this occupation's exposure to AI, how AI is
actually being used in it, and where employment is headed. These are positions
within published studies — measures of exposure and usage, not predictions
that this job will disappear.
Exposure to current AI
Each study uses its own scale, so the raw scores are not comparable across rows —
the percentile (this job's rank among all U.S. occupations with
data) is the comparable figure, and sizes the bars.

0.3
OpenAI's exposure study scores tasks three ways: with a language model alone
(α 0.2), with simple added tooling
(β 0.6), and including AI-powered software
(γ 1.0). Higher means more of the job's
tasks could be done at least twice as fast — not that they will be automated away.
This job mostly cannot be done remotely (Dingel–Neiman) — its hands-on tasks sit outside what software-based AI reaches.

How AI is actually used in this job
Among measured AI assistant conversations mapped to this occupation (Anthropic
Economic Index, 2026-01-15), these
task types came up most. These are shares of observed AI conversations —
not shares of the job, of worker time, or of what could be automated.

Where this work sits on the global GenAI gradient
The ILO's 2025 global study scores generative-AI exposure on the international ISCO-08
occupation system, not US SOC. Bridged through the published (and approximate,
many-to-many) IBS O*NET-SOC ↔ ISCO-08 crosswalk, this US occupation corresponds to the
international occupation below. Exposure here means how much of the work's tasks today's AI can attempt — task
overlap, not automation, adoption, or jobs lost.
Tax Examiners and Collectors, and Revenue Agents sits at the 88th percentile of 427
occupations on the global GenAI task-exposure gradient
— exposure rose from 2023 to 2025. Each dot is one occupation; the
ringed one is this work. Exposure is task overlap, not automation or jobs lost.
Read the whole six-band gradient on the GenAI exposure gradient page.
The crosswalk is approximate: a US occupation can map to several international ones, and the
ILO scores describe the international occupation, not this exact US role.

Tasks
All 25 tasks O*NET lists for this occupation, ordered by importance.
Each links to its own page with AI-exposure and observed-use detail.
How characteristic each condition is of the job, on O*NET's 1–5 context scale
(higher = more present in day-to-day work). Each condition links to how it varies
across all occupations.
Previous work-related skill, knowledge, or experience is required for these occupations. For example, an electrician must have completed three or four years of apprenticeship or several years of vocational training, and often must have passed a licensing exam, in order to perform the job.
Preparation level
SVP (6.0 to < 7.0) — total schooling plus on-the-job experience.
Annual wages by percentile — U.S. (BLS OEWS). The light
band spans the 10th–90th percentile; the darker band is the middle half (25th–75th); the line

Side-by-side comparisons place two occupations’ pay, preparation, skills, and AI
exposure on the same page — same data, same scale, no forecast.
