Task breakdown by work type
On-screen work47%
Done entirely on a computer. High AI exposure — these tasks are already in the automation zone.
In-person + screen33%
Physical sensing, digital output — e.g. interviewing someone then writing a report. Partially protected.
Computer + action0%
Computer input, real-world output — needs someone to act on it, not just software.
Fully in-person20%
No computer required. Furthest from automation — the strongest human advantage.
