trailRoughly two-thirds of U.S. occupations are exposed to some degree of automation by AI
AI is more likely to complement most jobs than to substitute for them entirely
Generative AI could expose the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs worldwide to automation
Convergent independent exposure estimates· for
About 80 percent of US workers could have at least 10 percent of their tasks affected by LLMs.
Exposure ratings of O*NET occupational tasks by human annotators and GPT-4 reliably estimate which work tasks LLMs could affect
LLM task exposure measures technical potential, not realized labor-market impact or job displacement
Independently constructed AI occupational exposure indices broadly agree on which occupations are most exposed
About 60% of jobs in advanced economies are exposed to AI
