96% human advantage from judgment & presence
50% demand buffer from SG labour market
AI usage 1pp below theoretical exposure
These factors combine multiplicatively — larger bars do not mean proportionally larger contributions to the final score.
Exposure × (1 − Bottleneck) × Market Modifier. How this works
Tasks AI can handle
Diagnostic pattern recognition, medical literature synthesis, appointment scheduling, patient record summarization, and drug interaction checking.

What To Do Next
Psychiatrist has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.
What helps
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
- Credential or licensing barriers could make switching harder than the adjacent-role list suggests.
