Substitution — the headline: capability discounted by cost, barriers and adoption.

Exposure — technical capability alone, regardless of whether anyone deploys it.

Augmentation — how much AI assists without replacing. High here + moderate substitution = a changing job, not a disappearing one.

Sector adoption velocityclaude-haiku-4-5-202510011/5There is no sector-wide adoption of AI for legislative decision-making, nor any trend toward it. The political and legal structures that require human legislators actively prevent and will continue to prevent automation of this core democratic function.

Augmentation potentialclaude-haiku-4-5-202510012/5AI can assist legislators by analyzing policy data, summarizing constituent feedback, and modeling outcomes, but these assistive uses are secondary to the core task of making accountable political judgments that remain firmly human-centered.

Task automatabilityclaude-haiku-4-5-202510011/5Balancing conflicting political perspectives and making binding policy decisions requires value judgments, stakeholder accountability, and democratic legitimacy that AI cannot replicate. Current AI systems cannot meaningfully replace the political judgment and constituent responsiveness inherent in legislative decision-making.
Task automatabilityclaude-sonnet-51/5This task requires legitimate political authority, value judgments, and accountability to constituents that AI cannot exercise; it is fundamentally a human governance function, not an information-processing task susceptible to automation.
Adoption barriersclaude-haiku-4-5-202510015/5Constitutional law, democratic accountability, and electoral legitimacy create hard barriers: elected officials are legally responsible for legislative decisions and cannot delegate this authority to non-accountable systems.

How to read this

A high substitution score does not mean this job disappears — it means a large share of its current tasks face replacement pressure, so the mix of tasks is likely to change. High augmentation alongside substitution typically means the occupation reorganizes around the protected tasks. Wide confidence intervals mean the rater panel disagreed: treat those scores as open questions, not verdicts.

What would change this score
