AIWTI Wants to Put a Number on AI's Effect on Work
The AI Workforce Transition Index proposes an open standard for tracking how tasks move between people and AI over time.
Field notes
The proposed index uses a composite base of 100 and treats tasks, rather than entire occupations, as its basic unit. Its planned attribution model is meant to distinguish AI substitution from macroeconomic cycles, attrition, and ordinary automation. The homepage identifies telemetry, minimum data-quality thresholds, and anonymization as requirements, while public drafts, comment periods, and versioned releases are presented as governance mechanisms. The methodology itself is not yet visible; visitors can request it or join the working group.
