Will AI replace Equal Opportunity Representatives and Officers?
AI can do 73% of the work Equal Opportunity Representatives and Officers do at least twice as fast. People already use it for 2 of their 18 tasks, while 10 more are ready but barely used so far. 6 still need a person.

Your week is not the average
Describe what you actually do and get a personal report: your own tasks, what AI can already do, what stays yours and a 90 day plan.
What this means
AI can do most of this work faster, but a real part of the job still needs a person. Real use is still behind at 12 out of 100, so the change here is only getting started. The people who learn which tasks to hand off will pull ahead.
What to do next
- Do the 2 tasks AI is already handling with AI yourself. Your peers already are, and it is quickly becoming the baseline.
- Get ahead on the 10 tasks AI could do next. These move as tools improve, so learning them early pays off.
- Build on the 6 tasks that stay human. This is where your judgment, skill and relationships matter most.
