What percentage of your tasks can AI do?
If you believe companies like Anthropic (which has a vested interest in selling as much AI as possible), that number could be as high as 94% depending on your occupation.
Something didn’t smell quite right about that, so Trust Insights decided to test this ourselves. Instead of using generic government data and a snap judgement (the paper Anthropic cites all the time is also from 2023), we used our TRIPS Framework by Trust Insights to test thousands of job descriptions from dozens of companies, converting them into over 90,000 tasks, and then assessed how many of the tasks today’s AI could credibly do.
Spoilers, it wasn’t 94%. But it also wasn’t zero, and where we diverge from Anthropic is that there are a lot of tasks where AI can be genuinely useful but no one’s using it there… yet.
As we roll into budgeting season, you’re probably facing a lot of questions about what you’re getting for your AI spend and why you’re not seeing the overhyped numbers (“580x ROI on AI!”) that people tout on social media.
We’ve created two resources for you. The first is a helpful 6-page paper, free, that summarizes what we found and helps you frame the conversation about AI enablement at your organization. The second is a full academic paper with our methodology and analysis. We’ve also included a Gemini Notebook/NotebookLM with audio, video, and infographics for your convenience.
