New report with @AnthropicAI: What work can robots do today?

We find that robots extend AI exposure far beyond digital work. Over 80% of working hours in the US are exposed to robots or LLMs, but robots are cost-competitive for just 0.3%.

If robot price declines follow past trends, it will take 40 years to reach 10%. 1/6

@bronwyn I'm glad you're pointing this out! This is entirely ungrammatical to me, and I first heard it when I came to the US, so I thought it was an American English feature. That was rather many years ago, though, so perhaps it's in Canada now too.
