Most exposed

Where AI can do more

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

  1. Back up or modify applications and related data to provide for disaster recovery.81
  2. Document application and Web site changes or change procedures.81
  3. Administer internet or intranet infrastructure, including Web, file, and mail servers.81
  4. Implement updates, upgrades, and patches in a timely manner to limit loss of service.81
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.

Beyond AI capability

Adoption and labour-market outlook

Structural factors are kept separate from raw capability so you can see what actually resists automation. Adoption pressure and labour-market resilience are still provisional models—25% of this occupation’s replacement-risk weight rests on them.
