Which tasks are exposed

Risk applies to individual tasks—not to a person or an entire occupation.

Why technology can change this work

• AI automatically drafts analyses, finds correlations and explains standard deviations
• AI accelerates analysis of images, records and laboratory indicators
• documentation and preliminary triage can be automated
• decision-support systems compare symptoms with large datasets

What protects the occupation
