high overlap 2023 task rating

What this means. In the researchers’ assessment, most tasks overlap in the 2023 AI ratings. The rating includes tasks that could require additional AI software.

What it does not mean. This is not the chance of losing your job, a measure of current AI use, or a test of today's tools.
