Occupational AI use by employees aged 15–29 and 30–49, EU27, 2011–2025, indexed values

Notes: Index for 2019 = 100. The dashed vertical lines indicate the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. Occupations are ranked by the share of workers reporting that they had used an AI-powered tool in their main job in the previous 12 months, as measured in the AIM-WORK survey conducted by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). They are divided into three groups of roughly equal employment size, using employment before 2022, so each group contains about a third of all employees rather than a third of all occupations. Low, medium and high AI use refer to the proportion of workers in that occupation who use AI. Examples of occupations that report high AI use are information and communications technology professionals and business and administration professionals. The medium use group includes science and engineering associate professionals, health professionals and sales workers. The low use group includes personal service workers, drivers, mobile plant operators and building trades.
