Question
Tasks, not jobs
Answer
Automation takes tasks out of a job rather than removing the job — the job that remains is a different job.
Question
What decides which tasks go first?
Answer
Predictability, volume, how cheap an error is, and whether the data already exists.
Question
Why are skilled tasks vulnerable?
Answer
Skilled tasks are often predictable and richly recorded — reading a scan is easier to automate than clearing a table.
Question
The hidden loss in automation
Answer
Entry-level tasks were how people learned the job, so removing them removes the route into the field.
