What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 20% now, 35% at the end of 2027, 41% at the end of 2028, 43% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 43% desk work, 17% people work and 40% 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 53% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 38% becomes checking a model's work and 6% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
