A new labor framework proposed by OpenAI’s chief economist suggests that traditional metrics for measuring AI job exposure might be missing the bigger picture. After analyzing over 900 occupations, the report predicts that 18% of jobs face a near-term high risk of automation, while another 25% will undergo massive reorganization. Relying heavily on economic "demand elasticity," the study points out that highly elastic roles like software developers and graphic designers are at the greatest risk, whereas in-person, least-elastic professions like firefighters and home health aides remain largely shielded.
