How AI Impact Is Derived

The AI Impact Score for Physics is derived by computing a weighted average of the AI exposure scores of all 709 occupations that use this knowledge. The weights are proportional to how important this knowledge is and at what level it is required within each occupation. Occupations that rely heavily on Physics at high levels receive more weight in the calculation, yielding a score of 50 / 100 (Partial Automation Likely).
