Notary Public (Mid-Level): UK/international notaries face significant transformation as AI automates drafting, research, and administrative workflows, but the irreducible notarial act — personal identity verification, witnessing, seal, and professional accountability — remains structurally protected by Faculty Office regulation and centuries of international legal convention. Adapt within 3-5 years.
Barrister (Mid-Level): AI is transforming case preparation, legal research, and drafting but court advocacy — cross-examination, oral argument, and real-time persuasion — remains irreducibly human. Protected by BSB licensing, personal professional liability, and deep cultural trust in human advocates. Safe for 7+ years.

What Do These Scores Mean?
Each role is assessed using the AI Job Resistance Index (AIJRI), a composite score from 0 to 100 measuring how resistant a role is to AI displacement. The score is built from five dimensions: Task Resistance (how many core tasks can AI automate), Evidence Calibration (real-world adoption data), Barriers (regulatory, physical, and trust barriers protecting the role), Protective Principles (human-centric factors like empathy and judgement), and AI Growth Correlation (whether AI growth helps or hurts the role).
Roles scoring above 60 land in the Green Zone (AI-resistant), 40–60 in the Yellow Zone (needs adaptation), and below 40 in the Red Zone (high displacement risk). For full individual assessments, see the Notary Public (Mid-Level) and Barrister (Mid-Level) role pages.
