From a Stanford study where AI experts and quality control analysts 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 38% of the 8 work tasks in the Quality Control Analysts role, according to AI experts in the Stanford WORKBank study (O*NET SOC 19-4099.01).
- Workers in the Quality Control Analysts role want about 75% of their tasks automated (Stanford WORKBank, 1,500 U.S. workers).
- 3 of 8 Quality Control Analysts tasks are Automation Green Light, wanted by workers and do-able by AI, that is 38% of the role (Stanford WORKBank).
- The typical Quality Control Analysts task scores 3.34/5 for worker desire to automate and 3.1/5 for AI capability today (Stanford WORKBank, 1-5 scale).
