Eighty-four per cent of farming and forestry work cannot be sped up. The exception is the person with the clipboard.
Exposure means published research judged an AI could halve the time a task takes, at the same quality. It is not a prediction about any job. How to read this
Farmworkers and Labourers, the largest occupation here at 277,000 people, are at 87 per cent protected with nothing reachable today. Agricultural Equipment Operators are at 100 per cent.
The inspector is the outlier because inspection produces a report, and reports are the most reachable artefact in this entire dataset.
Solid is reachable with a chat window today, pale needs software building first, grey cannot be sped up. Task counts are shown because several of these rest on fewer than twenty.
Twelve occupations, one of which writes things down for a living, and that one is thirty points more exposed than the rest.
If you want a single sentence to explain this whole report to somebody, it is that one.
There is no data here on what anybody actually does with AI. A dataset that appears to measure it was removed from this report because its meaning could not be stated. The reasoning is on the limits page.
The exposure ratings cover all 243 tasks in these 12 occupations with no gaps, and were made in 2023 against the model capabilities of that year. Read every figure as a floor.
