What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 33% now, 37% at the end of 2027, 38% at the end of 2028, 38% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 38% desk work, 17% people work and 45% 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 61% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 28% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
