Which UCM courses actually prepare Manx students for an AI-native career? We classify 189 active programmes into four honest buckets — from "explicitly teaches AI tooling" through "distinctly human, AI-resistant" to "at-risk routine work" — so students, Treasury and UCM can make informed calls.
Course name or field directly teaches AI tools, data science, cyber security, programming, cloud, automation, prompting. These graduates step straight into AI-era roles.
Course leads to occupations the Anthropic Economic Index rates as augmentation-dominant — AI makes the graduate more productive, humans stay in the loop.
Course leads to occupations whose core tasks are hard for AI to touch — personal service, physical trades, care, supervised practice. AI-resistant regardless of the era.
Course leads to occupations with high automation exposure and limited augmentation upside. Students should know this before enrolling — not a reason to cancel, but a reason to pair with AI-fluency add-ons.
Classification priority — the first match wins:
Courses with no Anthropic EI data for their matched SOCs are excluded to keep the signal clean. The page is a planning aid, not a prescription — a "distinctly human" course is not automatically "safer" than an "AI-vulnerable" course if the market for it is shrinking.
