Where AI can do more

Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.

  1. Write articles, manuals, and other publications and assist in the distribution of promotional literature about programs and facilities.72
  2. Review and interpret government codes and develop procedures to meet codes and to ensure facility safety, security, and maintenance.71
  3. Collect and analyze survey data, regulatory information, and demographic and employment trends to forecast enrollment patterns and the need for curriculum changes.71

Hardest to automate

Where people still matter

These tasks score lowest on automation feasibility—physical presence, judgement, accountability and real-world variability all resist end-to-end automation.
