What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 36% now, 46% at the end of 2027, 49% at the end of 2028, 50% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 50% desk work, 19% people work and 31% 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), 42% becomes checking a model's work and 7% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
