ADVICE

Measure Outcomes Not Activity

  • Do reward AI-enabled performance, not just raw AI usage metrics like logins.
  • Require before-and-after outcomes and a human judgment receipt to maintain accountability.
INSIGHT

Adaptive Capacity Determines Who Pays The Cost

  • Adaptive capacity matters as much as exposure when assessing AI job risk.
  • 6.1M U.S. workers face high exposure and low adaptability, mostly women in clerical roles.
ADVICE

Create Real Mobility Pathways

  • Map administrative roles to adjacent higher-mobility jobs and create clear redeployment pathways.
  • Train clerical staff to supervise agents, audit outputs, and manage exceptions.
