1.

The right level of detail at which to analyze the potential impact of automation is that of individual activities rather than entire occupations. Every occupation includes multiple types of activity, each of which has different requirements for automation. Given currently demonstrated technologies, very few occupations—less than 5 percent—are candidates for full automation. However, almost every occupation has partial automation potential, as a proportion of its activities could be automated. We estimate that about half of all the activities people are paid to do in the world’s workforce could potentially be automated by adapting currently demonstrated technologies. That amounts to almost $15 trillion in wages.

The activities most susceptible to automation are physical ones in highly structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States, these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost $2.7 trillion in wages. They are most prevalent in manufacturing, accommodation and food service, and retail trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that could be automated; middle-skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential. As processes are transformed by the automation of individual activities, people will perform activities that complement the work that machines do, and vice versa.

2.Electric utilities face regulatory and public pressure to achieve two opposing goals: making overdue upgrades while holding down costs and rates to customers. Following an investment wave during the 1970s and 1980s, transmission and distribution (T&D) companies put far less money into improving their networks over the next few decades. Now those networks are nearly obsolete and need enhancements to improve grid availability and security and to bring renewable energy, distributed generation, and other advanced technologies online. And as T&D companies look at whether to make certain upgrades, they may be without essential technical knowledge because many of their experienced workers are retiring.

At the same time, T&D companies must contend with financial constraints and regulatory requirements. In response, many have cut costs by streamlining their processes and outsourcing support activities such as construction. Transmission companies are using new technologies, especially devices for remotely monitoring and controlling equipment, to make their operations more efficient. Distribution companies are beginning to do the same.
