Tasks, not job titles

What the work is actually made of

Every job is a bundle of tasks. Here are six from this area. Try sorting them: which would you hand to AI?

  1. Count where a building wastes energy and water

    Lights on in empty rooms, a dripping tap, air-conditioning set too cold: you tally what you see instead of guessing.

    Your guess for this task: Count where a building wastes energy and water

  2. Collect water or soil samples in the field

    You pack boots, gloves and labelled bottles, and the weather decides how your day goes.

    Your guess for this task: Collect water or soil samples in the field

  3. Read a site's energy and water bills

    You find the spikes, match them to what happened that week and ask the people who were there.

    Your guess for this task: Read a site's energy and water bills

  4. Write up what you measured and found

    You say what you measured, what you found and how sure you are, because someone will act on it.

    Your guess for this task: Write up what you measured and found

  5. Advise a farmer on a new way of growing

    You visit the plot, listen first and fit the idea to their land, budget and season.

    Your guess for this task: Advise a farmer on a new way of growing

  6. Persuade people to change a habit

    The best improvement fails if nobody uses it, so you explain, ask what gets in the way and try again.
