Start with the work you do, not the job title. AI may take on some tasks, help with others and leave important decisions with you. Explore your task mix, the tools your workplace can use and the skills worth building next.
Judgement and relationshipsKeep a human responsible
The mix changes by role, workplace and tools.
The task spectrum
Look inside the job
Break the role into tasks you can examine. These categories help you ask better questions; they do not predict what will happen to your job.
01 / Repetitive
Automate carefully
Tasks with defined inputs, rules and checks may be candidates for automation.
Sorting standard requests
Moving information between systems
02 / Collaborative
Use as an assistant
AI can prepare a first pass while a person checks accuracy and context.
Drafting routine material
Summarising documents
03 / Accountable
Keep human-led
People remain responsible for decisions, care, physical work and relationships.
Resolving sensitive issues
Making judgement calls
What this means: Ask which tasks change, how they are checked and what skills become more useful. The answer depends on the job and the workplace.Try the three-question role audit →

Exposure is not a job-loss forecast
Jobs and Skills Australia assesses AI at the task level and explains that exposure, adoption and workplace adaptation differ. For the source, practical examples and a step-by-step check of your own role, read our Australian guide to AI and jobs.
Skills to keep developing
Build the skills that help you judge the output, understand the situation and work well with people.
🧠
Creative Thinking
Use AI to explore options, then apply your own context, taste and judgement to decide what is useful.
❤️
Emotional Intelligence
For tasks involving empathy, negotiation or conflict, define what a tool may prepare and who must listen, decide and take responsibility.
🔨
Physical Dexterity
Hands-on work means responding to real conditions, using physical skill and making practical decisions. Learn where tools can assist while keeping safety and the situation in view.
🎯
Strategic Judgement
Use information to weigh options, explain trade-offs and make a decision. AI can help prepare the material; you still need to judge what it means in context.
🤝
Relationship Building
AI may help prepare research, meeting notes or follow-up drafts. People remain responsible for consent, context and the relationship.
🛠️
AI Tool Proficiency
Learn where AI helps, how to verify its output and when to set it aside. Useful tool skills vary by role.
A short exercise
Make your own role map
Write down a typical week's work. Use these questions to find a useful learning goal or a conversation to have with your manager.
Look for structured, frequent tasks and note the exceptions.
02
What needs review?
Identify work where AI could prepare a draft but a person must check it.
03
Where does your judgement matter?
Identify the decisions, relationships and practical responsibilities that need your knowledge of the situation.

Make the next learning step practical
Flowtivity helps Australian teams practise useful AI tasks, check the output and build skills around the work they actually do.
Start with job change, task exposure and the skills you can work on now.
Will AI replace my job?
A job title alone cannot tell you. Look at the tasks in the role, which tools your workplace can use and the decisions that still need a person. Those details give you a more useful starting point.
Which jobs are most at risk from AI in Australia?
Structured digital tasks may change sooner than work involving physical skill, care or complex judgement. The mix differs within every industry and employer.
What skills should I develop?
Practise checking AI output, explaining your decisions and applying knowledge of your field. Use the role map to choose a learning goal that fits your work.
