Scenarios
Some of these jobs depend on how AI develops.
Roles marked Scenario are not common jobs today. Each one hangs on a stated condition: what AI would need to be able to do, and what organisations would need to decide. We say what would make the role real and what would rule it out, so nobody plans on a guess.
AGI conditional
Broad reliable autonomous delegation
Systems complete diverse consequential tasks with sustained reliability beyond existing narrow deployments.
AGI conditional
End-to-end automated scientific discovery
Systems autonomously formulate, execute and verify novel scientific work across disciplines.
AGI/SI conditional
Rapid automated AI research and recursive change
Automated AI research repeatedly improves systems at consequential speed and scale.
SI conditional
Superintelligent systems with major strategic capability
Systems substantially exceed human expert groups across broad consequential cognitive tasks.
Frontier governance conditional
International frontier assurance institutions
Frontier-system risks create incentives for cross-border verification and coordination.
AI/AGI/SI economic scenario
Large-scale restructuring of work and economic institutions
AI materially changes economically valuable task mixes across many sectors.
AGI/SI philosophical scenario
Institutional consideration of AI moral status
Credible evidence or sustained uncertainty prompts questions about possible AI experiences or interests.
