An ILO and Polish NASK working paper scored occupational tasks for generative AI exposure and found about a quarter of global employment sits in occupations with some generative AI exposure, but only 3.3% in the highest-exposure band, led by clerical work. Exposure reaches 34% of jobs in high-income countries against 11% in low-income ones, and women are over-represented in the most exposed group.

Why it matters

Clerical work leads the 3.3% of global jobs in the highest-exposure band, and women are over-represented there. Exposure reaches 34% of jobs in high-income countries and 11% in low-income ones.
