Will AI take my cook / restaurant worker job?

What this score means for Cook / Restaurant Worker.

The Cook / Restaurant Worker role scores in the most AI-resistant band. The work that defines it — the physical, procedural, and relational core — is not on the table for current generative AI. Routine paperwork is being eaten; the actual job is not. Over the next 5 years the score is projected to drift down by 9 points based on the service vertical's drift rate. Quarterly recomputes track the actual change.
