What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 35% at the end of 2027, 44% at the end of 2028, 49% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 49% desk work, 14% people work and 37% 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 49% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 41% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
Headcount
5,200 employees as of March 28, 2026 (stated). The filing states about 75% of employees in the Americas, 14% in Europe and 11% in Asia; the Americas figure is not a U.S. count, so the share stays null with the regional figures noted.
The filing: “As of March 28, 2026, we employed approximately 5,200 full and part-time employees in 23 countries.”
