Software developers

Emerging disruption pressure. This profile combines theoretical task exposure, observed professional AI use, and a deliberately weak early labour-market signal. It does not claim that software developers will disappear.

CURRENT SCORE

Why the score is 34.8

The ILO signal covers 8 international task statements. The observed-use measure maps the nearest compatible O*NET occupation from the Anthropic dataset. Mapping uncertainty is included in confidence.

Theoretical task exposure 35% weight
52.7

How much of the international occupation's task content GenAI could technically assist or perform.

Observed professional adoption 55% weight
28.8

How much capable task coverage appears in automated or work-related Claude usage.

Early labour-market signal 10% weight
5.8

Capped at one fifth of observed adoption because broad unemployment effects have not been established.

EVIDENCE OVER TIME

Job Doom progression

Scores change only when comparable evidence becomes available. The June 2026 release changed its measurement pipeline, so the March value is held rather than manufacturing a false movement.

ECONOMIC RELEVANCE

Countries where this job enters the 90% set

The same job score is reused internationally, while its estimated GDP importance changes with each country's economy. This avoids pretending sparse local score evidence means the occupation behaves differently without proof.

    Updated occupation-task usage breadth used for the first scored revision

    Historical breadth is calibrated to the later compatible observed-exposure score. · MIT
  2. International Labour Organization and NASK

    Generative AI and Jobs: A Refined Global Index of Occupational Exposure

    Task-level theoretical exposure and ISCO-08 exposure category

    Exposure describes technical task potential, not observed job loss. · CC BY 4.0
  3. Anthropic

    Labor market impacts of AI: A new measure and early evidence

    Observed occupation exposure based on task capability and real Claude usage

    The study reports no systematic unemployment increase and only suggestive early-career hiring effects. · MIT
