Employment and wage values are approximate reference figures from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics programme, stored with an approximation flag. Verify against the O*NET record and BLS before quoting them.
Core tasks only. Exposure describes how much of the task output current AI can produce or substantially assist - not whether the task disappears. Secondary shared-baseline edges are hidden until per-occupation curation is complete.

Evidence
Evidence trail
1 attributed item(s). Confidence reflects study design: randomised and production deployments score higher than platform observations, which score higher than projections.
Task-level usage data shows AI most used for lesson and material preparation and for feedback drafting, with far less usage recorded for live instruction and classroom management.
A good example of capability and adoption diverging inside one occupation: preparation is heavily automated while the defining activity of the job is not.

Teaching neural decoders with language
arXiv:2610.12921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain-computer interfaces decode neural activity, yet class-label supervision (CLS) leaves relationships among classes implicit. We propose Language as Supervision (LaS), which aligns neural features with natural-language class descriptions through learned projections and predicts classes using candidate text prototypes. We evaluate seven encoder architectures with independently trained models for visual, motor, and speech decoding from scalp and intracranial recordings. LaS improves speech-decoding accuracy by up to 17.15~pp over matched CLS bas

Teaching Agents to Code Reliably
arXiv:2610.03984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous coding agents solve repository issues by reading code, running commands, editing files, and submitting patches. Extra inference-time compute yields gains only when it produces a useful repair and supplies reliable evidence for choosing one. Three behaviors decide both, and we argue they are teachable rather than byproducts of scale, so a policy can carry them instead of a scaffold. Location diversity remains narrow, since attempts return to the same site and extra samples add no coverage. Edit diversity is left unexploited, since metho

On-Premises Multi-Course RAG Tutoring for Business Education: Hardware-Software Trade-offs in a Campus AI Tutor
arXiv:2610.02510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Campus AI tutors based on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) must ground answers in assigned course materials while keeping textbooks and student dialogue on institutional infrastructure. We present CourseChat, an on-premises, multi-course RAG tutor for undergraduate business education, deployed behind a campus web gateway and intended for use embedded in Moodle. Six isolated course offerings, each keyed by its own course reference number (CRN), share twin-edge AI hosts running a FastAPI service, a local vector database, and a local large langu
