Statisticians
of tasks in the Statisticians role are ones AI can already do, per AI experts.
From a Stanford study where AI experts and statisticians 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 67% of the 6 work tasks in the Statisticians role, according to AI experts in the Stanford WORKBank study (O*NET SOC 15-2041.00).
- Workers in the Statisticians role want about 83% of their tasks automated (Stanford WORKBank, 1,500 U.S. workers).
- 4 of 6 Statisticians tasks are Automation Green Light, wanted by workers and do-able by AI, that is 67% of the role (Stanford WORKBank).
- The typical Statisticians task scores 3.54/5 for worker desire to automate and 3.56/5 for AI capability today (Stanford WORKBank, 1-5 scale).
- The Statisticians role (O*NET SOC 15-2041.00) has a median U.S. wage of $112,330 and about 29,800 people employed (U.S. O*NET / BLS).
