More complex tasks show greater speed improvements
- High school level tasks: approximately 9x faster, college level tasks: approximately 12x faster.
- Success rates slightly decrease with complexity (college-level task success rate: 66%).
Differences in usage patterns by country
- Low-income countries: higher proportion of educational use
- High-income countries: higher proportion of work and personal use
Impact varies significantly by occupation
- Simple 'frequency of use' is less important than actual impact considering success rate and time required.
- Data entry and radiology show overestimated impact, while teachers and software developers show relatively underestimated impact.
Augmentation still exceeds automation
- Currently augmentation 52% / automation 45%
- Automation share is gradually increasing over time.
