Raw potential = I/O automation ceiling. Realistic risk = adjusted for informal knowledge and social context. Research benchmark: Eloundou et al. (2023)

Distribution across 36 profiles. Middle half of Cardiologists score between 20% and 28%.

0% 50% 100%
p10 · 19%
31% · p90
On-screen work 19%

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

In-person + screen 54%

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

Computer + action 0%

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

Fully in-person 27%

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