​The White Collar Revolution​

The major areas of AI innovation automate white-collar work. Reviewing the BLS’ data on employment for white collar work, I aggregated the data to these categories.

It’s striking that most of them already have a significant number of AI startups pursuing their ambitions to change workflows.

Software engineers were the first to benefit with Copilot. Today, there’s a panoply of different kinds of AI software for developers, including test generation, code refactoring, code generation, & security analysis.

Within education, The promise of computer adaptive testing and an individualized tutor and the style of Alexander the Great & Aristotle is possible.,

Automated document ingestion & reconciliation for closing books is changing accounting. AI powered financial due diligence rips through public filings, private placement memoranda, & compliance automation.

Legaltech has surged automating demand letters for personal injury, writing briefs for attorneys, & chomping away paralegal work.

We could keep iterating through the list. But if a founder wanted a list of jobs to automate, the BLS’ white collar jobs boards is a wonderful place to start. AI will change these workflows & capture a meaningful fraction of the labor spend.

It’s a roadmap for the White Collar Revolution.
