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: 29% now, 33% at the end of 2027, 34% at the end of 2028, 34% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 34% desk work, 17% people work and 49% 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 66% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 25% becomes checking a model's work and 9% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

8 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI in its risk factors: competitors' use of AI may compound competitive risks, investments in AI may not yield returns and failing to adopt AI in product development could weaken its position, and AI may heighten cyber risks through deepfakes, in eight sentences.

• “Such risks may be compounded by the availability and use of artificial intelligence ("AI") by our competitors.”
• “Significant investments in technologies, including AI, may not yield returns, and failure to adopt AI effectively in our product development process-or competitors doing so more successfully-could weaken our competitive position and our revenue and profitability.”
• “Attacks-such as malware, ransomware, and unauthorized access-are increasing in frequency and severity, and the rapid adoption of AI may heighten these risks, including through the use of deepfakes.”
• “We use AI technologies in our business, and that use exposes us to risk.”
• “We continually update and expand our information technology systems to enable us to run our business more efficiently, including through the incorporation of AI solutions into our information systems, operations and processes.”
