OpenAI Cofounder Analyzes U.S. Job Vulnerability to AI, High-Paying Roles Most Exposed
March 15, 2026, 8:13 PM EDT. OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy used artificial intelligence (AI) to assess U.S. occupations' exposure to automation, finding that higher-paying jobs face greater risk. Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, Karpathy rated professions on a 0-10 scale for AI vulnerability; jobs paying over $100,000 averaged 6.7, compared to 3.4 for those under $35,000. Tech-related roles like software developers and data scientists scored near the top, while construction and some caregiving jobs scored low. Karpathy emphasized the analysis was a quick, exploratory project and removed the data after misinterpretation. Industry reports align with these findings, noting AI can potentially handle many tasks in business, finance, and tech sectors, while adoption remains limited but growing. The analysis highlights ongoing shifts in labor demand amid AI integration.
