Is Your Role Exposed to AI? A 15-Minute Self-Diagnosis

"Is AI coming for my job?" is the wrong question — too big to act on, so it just generates dread. Replace it with a smaller, answerable one: which parts of my work can AI already touch, and what should I do about each? That you can audit in about fifteen minutes.

Exposure is not replacement

Exposure measures how much of your work AI can meaningfully assist or automate. It is not a verdict that you'll be replaced. A role can be highly exposed and more secure — if the person in it climbs the augmentation ladder on the exposed tasks and becomes the one who directs the tools instead of competing with them.

The danger isn't exposure. It's unexamined exposure — staying a vending-machine user on tasks where someone else is already orchestrating.

The 15-minute audit

Grab a sheet of paper.

1. List your recurring tasks. Everything you do in a typical week — drafting, analyzing, reviewing, planning, coding, communicating. Aim for 15-20 items.
2. Rate each on AI-touchability, 1-5. How much could a capable model do, with your direction? Be honest — this is about the task, not your ego.
3. Sort into three buckets:
   • Automate (4-5): AI can largely do this with light supervision.
   • Augment (2-3): AI accelerates it, but your judgment is the product.
   • Anchor (1): deeply human — relationships, accountability, taste, hard calls.

What to do with each bucket

• Automate: stop doing these by hand. The risk here isn't AI; it's you spending scarce hours on work a model does in seconds while someone else ships faster.
• Augment: this is where the leverage is. These are your ladder-climbing tasks — worth deliberate reps, because skill here compounds and is hard to copy.
• Anchor: double down. As routine work commoditizes, the anchors become more valuable, not less. Protect the time for them.

The point of the diagnosis

A high exposure score isn't a death sentence; it's a map of where to invest. The people who lose ground ignore the automate bucket and never climb on the augment bucket. The people who gain turn exposure into a training plan.

You've got the map. The next move is reps.
