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, 22% at the end of 2027, 24% at the end of 2028, 24% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 24% desk work, 21% people work and 55% 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 75% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 17% becomes checking a model's work and 7% 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-generated content and generative AI as accelerating the spread of negative publicity and collective actions against brands, in its risk factors.

• “Moreover, as further described below, social media and the rise of artificial intelligence-generated content has dramatically increased the rate at which negative publicity, including as it relates to food-borne illness, can be disseminated before there is any meaningful opportunity to respond to or address an issue.”
• “If one or more of our key franchisees were to be unsuccessful, become insolvent or otherwise were unable or unwilling to pay us our royalties or other amounts owed, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected. 19 If we were to be unable or fail to recognize, respond to and effectively manage the accelerated impact of social media and/or generative artificial intelligence...”
• “The use of social media platforms and other consumer-oriented technologies, including generative AI, has increased the speed and accessibility of information dissemination and given users the ability to more effectively organize collective actions such as boycotts and other brand-damaging behaviors.”
• “The continued rise in AI technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks.”
• “The rapid evolution and continued increased adoption of AI technologies amplifies these concerns.”
