Observed AI exposure by US occupation group (simple average across occupations)

How it's computed: Group averages computed by this site as the unweighted mean of 756 detailed SOC occupations; 411 of them have zero observed exposure. 'Observed exposure' counts automated use at full weight and augmentative use at half weight (Anthropic's definition). Some values are computed by this site from the sourced series (see note).
