AI already performs a large share of the work in this job. Even so, the BLS expects 7.2% more of these jobs by 2035, faster than the 3.5% average.
Financial work often uses specialised, compliant AI tools that consumer Copilot data does not see, so this file probably understates how much AI touches it.

How to read this file.
deleAI does this. In US Bing Copilot conversations from January to September 2024, AI itself performed the activity, completed it and made a real difference often enough to count.
+AIAI helps. People brought the activity to AI as their own goal, and it usually got them there.
stetStill yours. It barely shows up in AI use, AI rarely finishes it, or in this job it needs hands.
Shares are weighted by how much each activity matters in the job, using O*NET. Microsoft’s own AI applicability score for this job is 0.28, higher than 85% of jobs.
Doing an activity is not doing a job. The researchers behind this data warn against reading it as job loss, and so do we. It is US data; the shape of the work travels.
Financial work often uses specialised, compliant AI tools that consumer Copilot data does not see, so this file probably understates how much AI touches it.
