? Degrees of exposure and complementarity with AI

Jobs vary in terms of their exposure and complementarity to AI. Exposure is the overlap between the
skills required in an occupation and the capabilities of generative AI. Complementarity reflects the
degree to which humans are likely to remain essential in certain occupations.
The majority of jobs in South Asia tend to have low exposure to AI. These tend to be manual—farmers,
firefighters, or factory workers. High exposure jobs tend to involve knowledge work. Jobs with high
exposure and low complementarity include routine, remote jobs such as call center agents, secretaries,
or digital application programmers. High complementarity, high exposure jobs instead often involve
interpersonal interaction, responsibility, and expert judgment, such as CEOs, doctors, teachers, and
lawyers.
