What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 36% now, 55% at the end of 2027, 64% at the end of 2028, 68% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 68% desk work, 25% people work and 7% 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 32% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 50% becomes checking a model's work and 13% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
