The bottom line

Roughly 90% of the work in Political Scientists is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: The UNSPSC tool segment distribution places all 30 tools in IT/Software (segment 43, digital prior 0.85), including SQL, R, and SPSS. The top Work Activities are exclusively knowledge-based, led by 'Analyzing Data or Information' (4.80) and 'Processing Information' (4.60). Work Context attributes like 'E-Mail' (5.00) and 'Spend Time Sitting' (4.04) confirm a completely desk-bound, knowledge-work environment.

Autonomous Agents as digital employees

Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.

Headless SaaS for Agents

The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
