What this atlas measures

Task exposure — not adoption, displacement, or wages.

We evaluated 23,851 real work tasks against what current AI systems can assist with. For each task, we asked: can an AI system plausibly handle or support this activity?

The result is a country-level map of which tasks are most amenable to AI assistance — and how that varies across income levels, regions, and trade-linked industries.

The atlas measures exposure at the task level. It does not predict whether automation will actually happen, or what effect it will have on employment or wages.
