Xobin Report Finds 72% of Workplace Skills Delegable to AI, Hiring Focus Shifts
Xobin's 2026 Mid-Year Human vs AI Skills Report analyzed 683 skill groups and 113 leadership scorecards from 92 employers, finding that 72% of workplace skills are fully or partially delegable to AI, especially in analytical and technical tasks. However, leadership, collaboration, and business-to-technical translation skills remain less automatable, with emotional intelligence slightly leading leadership criteria. The report emphasizes that hiring focuses on tasks candidates must perform independently or oversee, rather than AI's capability alone.
