The filing counts employees by segment and region, so the plants and the technical and administrative staff take their shares by count (a).
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 16% now, 26% at the end of 2027, 30% at the end of 2028, 31% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 31% desk work, 15% people work and 54% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 68% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 26% becomes checking a model's work and 4% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Questions about this company
- How much of Dana Incorporated's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 16% now and 30% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Dana Incorporated's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does Dana Incorporated employ?
- 26,900 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states.
- What kinds of work make up Dana Incorporated's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 2 industry staffing patterns, the largest Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing; by those patterns the work is about 31% desk work, 15% people work and 54% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Dana Incorporated's annual report say about AI?
- 14 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 1 and 14 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 3, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
