Which tasks are exposed

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

Why technology can change this work

• algorithms automatically allocate requests, resources and action priorities

• a large share of textual, analytical or information tasks is accessible to current AI models
• a significant share of operations repeats along a stable workflow
• the main inputs and outputs already exist in a digital environment
• the scale and cost of routine operations create a strong automation incentive
