> For example, benchmarks in our initial list heavily cover AI-exposed lawyers’ tasks, but barely cover any of the O*NET tasks of similarly AI-exposed legal secretaries or court clerks.
This technique seems dubious- what is stopping AI from doing the computer work of legal secretaries and court clerks as well?
Solving math problems is one of the hardest theoretical jobs. Software engineering is one of the harder practical jobs. AI is now much better at these tasks than humans because it has been able to properly train for them.
For other computer-based jobs it's a matter of AI getting properly trained for them. If a job is harder to verify or the training data is more limited, it may be much more difficult to train AI for it but I don't think there's any reason to think it won't happen eventually.
