Mathematicians
of tasks in the Mathematicians role are ones AI can already do, per AI experts.
From a Stanford study where AI experts and mathematicians workers rated each real task (O*NET). Not a guess from the job title.
Key statistics
Free to cite, with a link back to Automatable.
- AI can already do 40% of the 5 work tasks in the Mathematicians role, according to AI experts in the Stanford WORKBank study (O*NET SOC 15-2021.00).
- Workers in the Mathematicians role want about 60% of their tasks automated (Stanford WORKBank, 1,500 U.S. workers).
- 2 of 5 Mathematicians tasks are Automation Green Light, wanted by workers and do-able by AI, that is 40% of the role (Stanford WORKBank).
- The typical Mathematicians task scores 3.23/5 for worker desire to automate and 2.93/5 for AI capability today (Stanford WORKBank, 1-5 scale).
- The Mathematicians role (O*NET SOC 15-2021.00) has a median U.S. wage of $122,520 and about 2,220 people employed (U.S. O*NET / BLS).

What workers told Stanford
Of the 5 tasks studied for Mathematicians, 2 (40%) are in the Automation Green Light zone, AI can largely do them and workers want it. Across all tasks, workers want about 60% automated. The typical task scores 3.23/5 for worker desire and 2.93/5 for AI capability.
