Re: MIT Report Claims 11.7% of U.S. Labor Can Be Replaced with Existing AI

Wildly misreported headline

>The Index measures where AI systems overlap with the skills used in each occupation. A score reflects the share of wage value linked to skills where current AI systems show technical capability. For example, a score of 12% means AI overlaps with skills representing 12% of that occupation’s wage value, not 12% of jobs. This reflects skill overlap, not job displacement.

>The Index reports technical skill overlap with AI. It does not estimate job loss, workforce reductions, adoption timelines or net employment effects.
