Automatability scores estimate how much of a task an agent can reliably do today, grounded in O*NET task data. They are not predictions of job loss.
Start with these three
The most automatable work in this job, and the one tool we would use for each. Every task has a page of its own with the reasoning and every occupation that does it.
