Is Your Job Threatened by AI? Take the Test

The app The Two-Week Test gives you a free personalized assessment based on thirteen multiple-choice questions you can answer in under three minutes. I named the app after a concept in my book. The test asks whether a reasonably smart person could learn your job from a manual in two weeks. If they could, your job is probably exposed to AI takeover.

The report includes a score on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being most exposed to AI takeover. It also breaks down how exposed you are on five different axes: Automatability, Replaceability, Second-wave exposure (junior positions disappearing), Income resilience, and Time horizon. A more in-depth version of the report is available at a small fee.

My book provides a good grounding in preparing for the changes that AI will bring to our society. What it cannot do is provide a personalized assessment of how vulnerable or protected your job is in the face of the coming AI changes. That is why I created the app that will generate a personalized assessment unique to your situation.

AI implementation in the workplace is still happening relatively slowly. This is not a matter of AI capability. Today’s frontier models can reason at PhD level in almost every discipline. The implementation is slow because the incentives point in the opposite direction. Would you happily cooperate in setting up a system that could very well replace you?

At some point, though, the friction will give and the ground will shift. Then things will go quickly. What used to be done by ten people will be done by one or two. The decision to adapt will be a simple choice: do it or go out of business. Competition will not just come from the early adopters. New AI-native businesses will give any existing business a run for their money.

Not every job is equally exposed to AI takeover. If the job requires you to be present in person or if the job revolves strongly around personal relationships, to give a few examples, the job is a lot safer. Jobs that involve hands-on physical work are safe for now but are under threat in the longer term.

There is a contentious discussion going on online. One camp tells you that like any other technology before, AI will create plenty of new jobs. The other camp tells you that many jobs will disappear without any replacement. I lean towards the latter opinion, but more importantly, it depends on the actual job. A personalized assessment will give you a much clearer picture than any general opinion leaning one way or the other.

In under three minutes you can get that clarity with The Two-Week Test.
