On-screen work 31%

Done entirely on a computer. High AI exposure — these tasks are already in the automation zone.

In-person + screen 32%

Physical sensing, digital output — e.g. interviewing someone then writing a report. Partially protected.

Computer + action 1%

Computer input, real-world output — needs someone to act on it, not just software.

Fully in-person 36%

No computer required. Furthest from automation — the strongest human advantage.
