What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 25% now, 42% at the end of 2027, 50% at the end of 2028, 53% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 53% desk work, 20% people work and 27% 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 47% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 40% becomes checking a model's work and 9% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

• “Any integration of artificial intelligence in our or any third party's operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.”
• “The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence has also enabled threat actors to identify vulnerabilities at an accelerated pace, thereby increasing the frequency and severity of cyber threats facing us and others.”
• “We Use AI Technologies in Our Business, and the Use of These Technologies Involve Technological and Legal Risks.”
