I was also curious about this. Table A1 on page 56 lists examples of positions that are automated vs augmented, and these are the positions the authors think are going to be most augmented (allegedly taken from [0]): - Chief Executives - Maintenance and Repair Workers, General - Registered Nurses - Computer and Information Systems Managers After skimming [0], I can't seem to find a listing of jobs that would be augmented vs automated, just a breakdown of the % of analyzed queries that were augmenting vs automating, so I'm a bit confused where this is coming from.

When the Stanford paper looked at augment vs automate, they used the data from Anthropic's AI Economic Index. That paper defined the terms like this: We also analyze how AI is being used for tasks, finding 57% of usage suggests augmentation of human capabilities (e.g., learning or iterating on an output) while 43% suggests automation (e.g., fulfilling a request with minimal human involvement). From the data, software engineers are automating their own work, not augmenting. Anthropic's full paper is here: https://arxiv.org/html/2503.04761v1

There is a comparable study from Anthropic: "Which Economic Tasks are Performed with AI? Evidence from Millions of Claude Conversations" https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.04761 It says: "Our analysis reveals that AI usage primarily concentrates in software development and writing tasks, which together account for nearly half of all total usage." I believe these studies say more about the usage patterns for specific LLMs, than they do say about AI in general.
