What to do
Your craft and customer skills are your value. The human experience is what people pay a premium for.
This assessment is based on market-wide data for Barista.
Your actual AI risk depends on your specific employer, your skills, your seniority, and your industry.
And it changes. Every month, new AI tools launch. Your employer makes decisions. The market shifts.

Your role is well-protected. But the landscape still shifts.
Your skills stay human
Physical, creative, and relationship-dependent work isn't going anywhere. But the tools around you are changing - and knowing how to use them is an advantage.
Your industry is adapting
Even in resilient roles, the way organisations operate is shifting. Understanding how AI affects your employer's decisions helps you stay ahead.
Market value evolves
