“Globally, one in four workers are in an occupation with some GenAI exposure. 3.3% of global employment falls into the highest exposure category, albeit with significant differences between female (4.7%) and male employment (2.4%).”
“Indeed, the results indicate that few jobs consist of tasks that are fully automatable with current GenAI technology; nearly all occupations have some tasks that require human input.”
“Clerical occupations continue to have the highest exposure levels. Additionally, some strongly digitized occupations have increased exposure, highlighting the expanding abilities of GenAI regarding specialized tasks in professional and technical roles.”
“It is important to stress that these new estimates reflect “exposure” to GenAI and not the actual impact on employment. As in 2023, the 2025 estimates represent the upper threshold of the percentage of employment that could be affected if GenAI technology were fully implemented.”
“Finally, the estimates do not account for new jobs that may be created, nor the technological advances that could potentially automate more tasks in the future. In that sense, our estimates present a static snapshot of the exposure of existing occupations to GenAI at the start of 2025.”

Generative AI and Jobs: A Refined Global Index of Occupational Exposure
An ILO working paper, written with Poland's research institute NASK, updates the ILO's 2023 index of how far generative AI could perform each occupation's tasks. Scoring tasks by survey, expert review and AI models, the authors find 24% of global employment has some exposure, 3.3% the highest, and judge transformation of jobs likelier than replacement.
