Where AI can do more

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

  1. Perform grounds maintenance tasks, such as removing snow and mowing the lawn.74
  2. Advise managers, desk clerks, or admitting personnel of rooms ready for occupancy.73
  3. Maintain required records of work hours, budgets, payrolls, and other information.73

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.
