[R] Agentic AI and Occupational Displacement: A Multi-Regional Task Exposure Analysis (236 occupations, 5 US metros)

TL;DR: We extended the Acemoglu-Restrepo task displacement framework to handle agentic AI -- the kind of systems that complete entire workflows end-to-end, not just single tasks -- and applied it to 236 occupations across 5 US tech metros (SF Bay, Seattle, Austin, Boston, NYC). Paper: Motivation: Existing AI exposure measures (Frey-Osborne, Felten 's AIOE, Eloundou 's GPT exposure) implicitly assume tasks are independent and that occupations survive as coordination shells once their components are automated one by one. That works for narrow AI.
