About · The Desk
An independent research desk tracking how AI is rewriting the labor market.
We analyze data, interview experts, and publish intelligence for professionals trying to think clearly about automation and their careers. No hype. No pitch decks. Just the best evidence we can find, with sources.
Mission
What we're here to do.
AI is reshaping every industry at an unprecedented pace. That creates anxiety — and unprecedented opportunity for those who prepare.
This desk exists to provide transparent, data-driven insight into job displacement, equip professionals with actionable strategies, and help them thrive in the AI-driven economy.
Understanding the risks and opportunities is the first step toward a career that's durable, AI-resistant, or that uses AI as a genuine advantage.
Methodology
How we build the index.
01
Rigorous data analysis
We combine the WEF Global Future of Jobs Report, Goldman Sachs research, IMF studies, O*NET occupational data, and BLS labor statistics into a single risk model.
02
Expert validation
Findings are reviewed by AI researchers, labor economists, and career strategists before publication.
03
Continuous updates
The AI landscape changes weekly. Our data and analysis update on the same cadence to reflect emerging risks.
04
Radical transparency
Every source, assumption, and model choice is documented. You should be able to inspect our work, not just trust it.
The Team
