Task breakdown by work type
Done entirely on a computer. High AI exposure — these tasks are already in the automation zone.
Physical sensing, digital output — e.g. interviewing someone then writing a report. Partially protected.
Computer input, real-world output — needs someone to act on it, not just software.
No computer required. Furthest from automation — the strongest human advantage.
