This lesson explores how artificial intelligence is likely to reshape different careers. Using Karpathy’s interactive map of 342 US jobs, students will analyze AI exposure levels, discuss which jobs are most at risk, and think critically about strategies to prepare for the changing job market. Perfect for thoughtful discussion and real-world vocabulary building.

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:Vocabulary & Terminology Use 8–10 key terms related to AI and employment (e.g., AI exposure, augment vs. automate, knowledge work, productivity multiplier, demand elasticity, reshape) accurately in context. Data Analysis & Interpretation Interpret Andrej Karpathy’s AI Job Risk Map by explaining what box size and color intensity represent, and correctly categorize jobs according to their AI exposure levels (0–10). Critical Thinking & Reasoning Analyze why certain jobs have high or low AI exposure by comparing their core tasks (digital vs. physical/embodied work) and provide reasoned explanations supported by examples from the map. Speaking & Discussion Skills Participate in extended, thoughtful discussions: express opinions about AI’s impact on jobs, make predictions about future employment trends, and suggest personal career preparation strategies using target language. Real-World Application Evaluate the potential economic and social implications of AI on different industries and compare how AI might affect the job market in the US versus their own country.
