How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
