The Future of Work Debate Has an Evidence Problem
Cohere, Wednesday, June 10th, 2026
Cohere Labs argues widely cited AI job-exposure scores rest on outdated, limited evidence.
Cohere Labs critiques how the influential GPTs-are-GPTs paper - claiming 80% of US workers face AI exposure - became policy gospel despite limitations. The authors note its 2023 exposure scores rely on outdated models and US-specific job taxonomies that miss work's relational and contextual dimensions.
They point to newer dynamic, worker-centered measurement approaches. The piece urges policymakers to treat exposure scores as one signal among many and to engage workers directly.
