Performing General Physical Activities
How performing general physical activities are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 24% of Performing General Physical Activities is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The distribution summary indicates a weight-weighted mean of 0.24 among known occupations, perfectly split between physical and hybrid bands. The highest-importance roles are deeply physical trades like Grinding and Polishing Workers, Hand (digital=0.05), Electricians (digital=0.05), and Electrical Power-Line Installers (digital=0.10). This activity explicitly involves climbing, lifting, and whole-body movement, making it fundamentally physical.
