Public datasets and evidence behind The Task Graph
We separate occupational data sources from external AI evidence and benchmark signals, so users can see what describes the role, what supports the AI work-change signal, and what is only contextual.
Evidence strength
How public AI sources are used
The source link is only part of the trust chain. Each external signal is also labeled by what it can prove, how it joins to The Task Graph, and where it should be treated cautiously.
| Source | Used as | Evidence tier | Join key | Strength | Caveat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
O*NET Database | Occupation and task backbone | Source backbone | O*NET-SOC Code + Task ID | Defines the occupation-task keys used for direct task-level joins. | The public site reflects the loaded local snapshot, so counts can differ from newer O*NET releases. |
OpenAI GPTs are GPTs | Direct task evidence | Direct task evidence | O*NET-SOC Code + Task ID | Strongest external task-level match because it uses the same task key. | Read as public AI exposure evidence for the task, not as a full automation claim. |
Anthropic Economic Index | Observed AI use around task wording | Observed task-use evidence | Normalized exact task title | Useful signal that similar task wording appears in observed AI use. | Positive observed use is not a direct automation estimate; zero or missing rows are not treated as low AI impact. |
Microsoft Working with AI | Occupation-level benchmark | Role or activity benchmark | Occupation or work activity mapping | Good comparison context for how generative AI applies across occupations. | Not task-level proof, so it should not be assigned to individual tasks. |

Limitations
Source-specific caveats
Every data source has limitations. We make them visible so you know what to trust and where to be cautious.
ESCO · ESCO limitations
ESCO is a European taxonomy and may not map perfectly to O*NET occupations on a one-to-one basis.
O*NET · O*NET limitations
O*NET is rich and role-specific, but it is US-centered and should not be read as a direct measure of every local labor market.
OECD PIAAC · PIAAC limitations
PIAAC is used as aggregate context, not role-level ground truth.
