Tasks from O*NET® 31.0 (US Department of Labor, CC BY 4.0, changed by us), most important first. “Already use” comes from Anthropic’s data on real work chats with Claude; “could speed up” from task ratings made with GPT-4 in 2023.

The main tasks with no real AI use seen and no big speed-up expected. This is where your skill counts most today.

1. Initiate, facilitate, and moderate classroom discussions.
2. Supervise students' laboratory or field work.
