A task performed by Computer and Information Research Scientists
Assign or schedule tasks to meet work priorities and goals.
Not yet. Workers want this automated (3.7/5), but experts rate today's AI capability at only 3/5, the technology isn't there. It's an R&D Opportunity.
Do you want this task automated?
How much the people who do this task want AI to take it over (avg of 10 workers).
How capable experts rate current AI at this task (avg of 2 experts).
How much human involvement should stay?
The Human Agency Scale (H1–H5) captures how much human direction workers think this task should keep.

How to automate this
Workers want this gone, but today's tools only get part of the way. Automate the edges.
Scheduling & coordination
Let people book and remind themselves.
- 1Share a booking link so the back-and-forth needed to assign or schedule tasks to meet work priorities and goals disappears.
- 2Use calendar rules and templates for recurring events and reminders.
- 3Automate confirmations and follow-ups with a no-code flow.
