A 10-Minute Method to Calculate Your 'AI Exposure' — and Why the Unmarked Tasks Matter Most
ravikantagrawal · x · 2026-09-09
The author proposes a 10-minute self-assessment for the question "will AI replace me?":
- Open last week's calendar and write 6-10 lines, in plain language, describing what you actually spent your hours on — not your job description.
- Mark each line where an AI tool could do 80% of it today with a competent human supervising. Be honest.
- The fraction of your hours on marked lines is your "AI exposure."
The number itself isn't the useful part — that just breeds anxiety. What matters is the unmarked list: the only portion of your job that's truly yours. Track whether that list grows or shrinks year over year, and whether anyone pays specifically for it. That, not your title or stack, is your real career position. The author is compiling readers' exposure data and says the patterns are interesting.
