College Major AI Outlook Comparison

What the comparison covers

Choose two of fifteen majors and the page places them side by side on three dimensions: AI exposure, hiring outlook, and realistic entry roles. Exposure reflects how much of the typical entry-level work can be reshaped by automation. Outlook describes whether demand is growing, stable, mixed, or cooling. The entry-role row is there to make the first job after graduation concrete.

Reading the conclusion

Exposure is about tasks, not the worth of a degree. A high-exposure major can still lead to good work if you add a specialism, and a low-exposure major can be a poor fit if you dislike the daily tasks. Two majors with similar exposure can differ sharply in hiring outlook, so read both rows before the conclusion. Use the entry roles to imagine your first three years, then check where those jobs are concentrated in the City AI Job Demand Comparison.

What two majors cannot decide

The tool cannot see the curriculum, the institution, your grades, internships, or whether you plan to continue to graduate study. It also treats each major as a single path when real graduates spread across many roles. Outlook ratings are directional and can shift with the economy. A comparison is useful for asking better questions, not for choosing a degree on its own; talk to people doing the work before you commit.
