Methodology and Scoring Rationale

To score how resilient media and communication work is to AI, we ask one question in three parts:

First, how much of the job still needs a human, read from six AI-exposure sources: our own AI Resilience Model, Anthropic's Observed Exposure, Microsoft's AI Applicability, Will Robots Take My Job, OpenAI Signals, and Google ATLAS. We call this dimension Meaningful Human Contribution (MHC) and weight it at 40%.

Next, whether employers will keep hiring for this job over the long term. This dimension, which we call Long-term Employer Demand (LTE), is calculated from BLS data and weighted at 30%.

Last, whether pay and mobility will hold up. We use wage bill and adaptive capacity data from independent researchers (Althoff & Reichardt, 2026; Manning & Aguirre, 2026). We call this dimension Sustained Economic Opportunity (SEO) and weight it at 30%.

For media and communication workers, only four of nine sources had data, which holds confidence at medium-high. AI Resilience Model flagged low human contribution while OpenAI Signals landed at medium, a mild split. Moderate hiring demand couldn't overcome low economic opportunity scores, leaving this role "Somewhat Resilient" with limited headroom to push the score higher.
