I read a report that said 40% of office admin tasks could be automated right now
Found this in a study from the Brookings Institution I was reading yesterday. It's not about some far-off future, it's about jobs like data entry and scheduling that exist today. Has your workplace started using tools for this kind of work yet?

That Brookings report is a good example. In my last job, we automated invoice processing and it cut the manual review time by about 70%. The team didn't get smaller, but their work changed to checking the AI's matches and dealing with vendor issues. What's the first task you'd automate in your office?

Notice how the report focuses on tasks, not entire jobs. That means automation will likely change roles instead of just eliminating them. People will probably shift to managing the tools and handling exceptions.

Oh that's so true... it's like when cars got GPS. Drivers didn't disappear, they just stopped needing to read paper maps all day. The job became more about the driving itself and dealing with traffic, less about the planning. You see it everywhere once you start looking.
