What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 11% now, 18% at the end of 2027, 22% at the end of 2028, 24% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 24% desk work, 8% people work and 68% 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 73% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 22% becomes checking a model's work and 3% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
