The measure weights automated and work-related uses more heavily than augmentative ones. Key findings: AI actual coverage is far below theoretical potential (e.g., only 33% for Computer & Math roles); computer programmers, customer service reps, and data entry keyers are most exposed; higher-exposed workers tend to be older, female, more educated, and higher-paid. Analyzing US unemployment data (CPS), researchers find no statistically significant increase in unemployment for highly exposed workers since ChatGPT's release, but detect a tentative ~14% slowdown in hiring of workers aged 22–25 into exposed occupations starting in 2024. The framework is designed to be updated periodically as AI capabilities and usage data evolve. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
