Frequently asked questions
Will AI replace Radiologists?
The Index cannot predict whether AI will replace an individual Radiologists role. Its 18/100 score is a relative estimate of task exposure, not a probability of job loss.
What does the exposure score mean?
The published value is 18/100, in the Shielded band. Higher values indicate greater estimated exposure within the model. It is not a measured share of tasks or a government employment forecast.
What wage and growth figures are available?
The source profile lists $340,280 median annual wage and 3% projected growth, with no source projection window recorded. Check original source dates and local conditions before treating those as current opportunities.
Can my personal assessment differ?
Yes. A generated assessment can consider the tasks you describe; an occupation-based fallback uses a broader baseline. Both are estimates. A different result is not proof that your job has changed.
Sources and methodology
The score is a relative index of task exposure from 0 to 100. It is not a percentage chance of losing a job or a forecast of layoffs. Individual tasks, employer choices, adoption, and regulation all matter.
The Index uses stored BLS-based occupation data. O*NET, OECD capability indicators, and task-exposure research are contextual references. The derivation of the stored occupation scores is not reproducibly documented in the published dataset.
The source snapshot does not record the wage-survey year or employment-projection window. Check the original BLS release before treating these figures as current. Editorial changes and export dates do not establish data freshness.
