AI only
This chart shows how the job's tasks split between humans and AI. "AI only" means a task AI can handle without a human — not a job removed: the role recomposes and the human refocuses on judgment, relationships and oversight.
AI Position of the Job
AI Impact on this job
Your profession remains only slightly exposed to AI. Artificial intelligence handles some processing and synthesis tasks, but human support, listening and professional judgment remain at the heart of your activity.
AI automates analysis and organization tasks, while relational support and judgment remain essentially human.
What will change
- Regularly evaluate clients' progress by processing and synthesizing assessments and questionnaires, because AI can analyze large amounts of information and detect useful trends.
- Monitor professional literature on new methods and tools by indexing, filtering and summarizing publications, because AI speeds up research and information synthesis.
- Manage administrative coordination with other professionals by synthesizing files and drafting reports, because AI facilitates the organization and formalizing of communications.
What AI will improve
- In sessions, propose exercises, reformulations and personalized intervention options, allowing you to devote more time to listening and relational adjustment.
- Highlight patterns and developments from reports, providing analytical support to adjust steps and prioritize objectives.
- Provide summaries of training and syntheses of new tools, helping you select relevant approaches and update your practices.

3-year outlook
Over the next 3 years, the profession will remain stable but will integrate more efficient, high-end coaching practices. AI will handle technical and progress-tracking aspects, freeing up more time for listening, co-construction, and personalized pathways.
