Between DALL-E, GPT, AlphaStar, AlphaFold, Waymo, and others, AI technology seems to have accelerated a lot this past decade. This leads to some people wondering if AI will start replacing human jobs.

Specifically, the market resolves to the count of how many of the following types have less than 85% of the expected employment by 2031:

) has projections for how much employment they expect in various types of jobs by 2031, and they will likely also continue to keep track of those jobs types at the time. This question resolves to PROB of the fraction of the above jobs that fail to reach at least 85% of the projected employment.

An exception is made if there is a non-AI related factor that causes a widespread long-term change in the economic trajectories, e.g. a war. In that case I will attempt to adjust for this factor by changing the resolution criterion, e.g. by counting from the projected employment after the event happened.

An exception is made for jobs that fail to reach their employment due to some clearly identifiable non-software-related shock or change in trends, such as a job-specific crisis or change (e.g. if motor vehicles get banned for safety or pollution reasons). Such jobs will be removed from the list before computing the fraction.

An exception is made if the list of job types changes, e.g. jobs are split, renamed, or deleted. If the job types change due to AI fundamentally changing the nature of the job, then I will likely count that job as having a drop in employment, unless doing so would be silly (e.g. the nature of the job hasn't changed very much, more people are working in the job than before). If the job types change for other reasons, I will try to find a comparable job type in the new list to make comparable resolutions. If all else fails, I will likely remove the job from the list as above.

I'm not very sure that my chosen list of jobs is a good selection, so I reserve the right to:
