AI job risk in Slovenia
Across 436 occupations covering about 949,469 workers, Slovenia's labour market carries a elevated average exposure to generative AI of 5.0 on a 0–10 scale, weighted by how many people each occupation employs. Every score maps an occupation onto the ILO and OpenAI research indices, so a higher number means more of the role's day-to-day tasks can already be performed or assisted by AI.
The most exposed roles are Accounting and Bookkeeping Clerks, Statistical, Finance and Insurance Clerks, Typists and Word Processing Operators — jobs built around routine information work that large language models handle well. The least exposed include Craft and Related Workers Not Elsewhere Classified, Manufacturing Labourers Not Elsewhere Classified, Bricklayers and Related Workers, where physical, in-person or hands-on tasks dominate. By industry, Business, Finance & Legal, IT & Digital sit toward the top of the range. Exposure is not the same as job loss: it flags where AI is most likely to reshape tasks first, and where workers may want to build complementary skills.

Frequently asked questions
How much AI risk do jobs in Slovenia face?
Across 436 occupations covering about 949,469 workers, Slovenia has an employment-weighted average generative-AI exposure of 5.0 on a 0–10 scale — an elevated level. A higher score means a larger share of a role's day-to-day tasks can already be performed or assisted by AI.
Which jobs in Slovenia are most at risk from AI?
The most exposed occupations in Slovenia are Accounting and Bookkeeping Clerks, Statistical, Finance and Insurance Clerks, Typists and Word Processing Operators, Data Entry Clerks, Water and Firewood Collectors. These are roles built around routine information work — writing, data handling and analysis — that large language models already handle well.
Which jobs in Slovenia are least exposed to AI?
The least exposed occupations include Craft and Related Workers Not Elsewhere Classified, Manufacturing Labourers Not Elsewhere Classified, Bricklayers and Related Workers. Physical, hands-on and in-person tasks are much harder for current AI to automate, so these roles score low.
Does a high AI exposure score mean the job will be lost?
No. Exposure measures how much of a role's tasks AI can perform or assist with — not whether the job will disappear. A high score flags where AI is most likely to reshape tasks first, and where workers may benefit from building complementary skills.
Which industries in Slovenia are most exposed to AI?
By employment-weighted average exposure, the most exposed industries in Slovenia are Business, Finance & Legal, IT & Digital, Government & Public Sector.
How is the AI exposure score calculated?
Every occupation is scored 0–10 by combining two published research datasets — the ILO's Working Paper 140 index and OpenAI's ‘GPTs are GPTs’ task-exposure study — mapped onto Slovenia's official occupation classification and ranked on a single global percentile scale so scores stay comparable between countries.
Data sources & authority for Slovenia
Employment (tile area) for Slovenia comes from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS), classified in ISCO-08 (SKP-08). Counts are drawn from the harmonised EU Labour Force Survey published by Eurostat (the European Union’s official statistical authority); occupation detail is modelled from published major-group shares. Pay is not published at occupation level for this source, so salary is left blank rather than estimated. The AI-exposure score itself is identical in method for every country: the ILO Working Paper 140 index and OpenAI’s GPTs are GPTs study, ranked on a single global percentile scale.
