You can assess your own AI risk in a few honest questions - and, more usefully, do something about the answer. Risk is not about your job title; it is about how much of your work is routine and rule-based versus judgement- and relationship-based. High routine, high risk - but also high opportunity to change the mix.
The self-assessment
Score each honestly:
- How much of my week is repetitive, rule-based output?
- How much depends on human judgement in unclear situations?
- How much relies on relationships and trust?
- How often do I handle genuinely novel problems?
- Am I the person who uses new tools, or who avoids them?
Lots of routine and little judgement means higher exposure - the signal to act, not to panic.
What a high score means to do
- Automate your own routine with AI, freeing time for higher-value work
- Grow the durable parts - judgement, relationships, creativity
- Become AI-fluent so you direct the tools rather than compete with them
- Move up the value chain in your current role
This mirrors how strategy and planning jobs stay safe by shifting toward decisions.
Reframe the risk
The same AI that threatens routine work is the tool that lets you escape it. Exposure handled early becomes advantage - the essence of AI-proofing your career.
The bottom line
Your AI risk depends on how routine your work is - and you can lower it by becoming the person who directs AI. Building that fluency is what the AI courses at London School of Business UK, including Strategic Application of AI in Business, are designed for. Enquire today.
