Key statistics
Free to cite, with a link back to Automatable.
- Across 104 U.S. occupations, workers want AI to automate about 56% of their work tasks (Stanford WORKBank, 1,500 workers).
- 33% of the 844 studied tasks (281 tasks) are "Automation Green Light": workers want them automated and AI can already do them (Stanford WORKBank).
- Medical Transcriptionists is the most automatable occupation studied: AI can already do 100% of its 8 tasks (Stanford WORKBank, O*NET SOC 31-9094.00).
- Art Directors is among the least automatable: AI can do only 0% of its tasks today (Stanford WORKBank, O*NET SOC 27-1011.00).
- The median studied task scores 3/5 for worker desire to automate and 3.5/5 for AI capability (Stanford WORKBank, 1-5 scale).
- Automatable maps 844 real O*NET tasks across 104 occupations; source: Stanford WORKBank (Shao et al., 2025, arXiv:2506.06576).
Two questions decide every task
For each task we cross what workers want automated with what AI is able to do. That puts every task in one of four zones.
Workers want it · AI can do it.
Strong candidate to automate now.
Explore Green Light tasks →Workers want it · AI can't yet.
Wanted — but the tech isn't there yet.
Explore R&D Opportunity tasks →AI can do it · workers don't want it.
Capable — but automate with care.
Explore Red Light tasks →Low desire · low capability.
Leave it to people for now.
Explore Low Priority tasks →The most and least automatable occupations
Ranked by the share of each role’s tasks that AI experts rate as do-able today, the canonical Automatable score, across all 104 occupations in the Stanford WORKBank study.

Which occupations have the most tasks AI can already do, from payroll clerks and bookkeepers to tax preparers, based on the Stanford WORKBank study of 1,500 workers.
The work tasks people most want AI to take over
Workers do not resist all automation. These are the tasks they most want handed to AI, and why, from the Stanford WORKBank survey.

Built on real evidence
Every figure comes from the Stanford WORKBank study (Shao et al., 2025), which surveyed 1,500 U.S. workers and 52 AI experts about 844 real occupational tasks from the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET database. We don’t guess, we report what workers said and what experts rated.
