Exposed workers by sector

MODEL

Ranking in Uruguay

MODEL

By modelled AI exposure, out of 19 regions.

About these estimates. No source publishes AI exposure by region for every country. The model splits Uruguay's real ILO sector employment across regions using population (Wikidata) and density: denser, capital-city regions get more finance, ICT and professional jobs, and rural regions more farming. Totals match national figures. AI usage figures are measured, not modelled. Methodology
