Import AI (Jack Clark)·medium signal
Jack Clark's latest Import AI reports the Remote Labor Index — a measure of AI systems completing real remote-work tasks — rose from 2.5% at its October 2025 launch to 16.1% by July 2026. A ~6.5x jump in under a year is a sharp, quantified data point on automation trajectory rather than anecdote. For builders and hiring, it's a concrete curve to reason against when scoping which remote knowledge-work tasks are becoming reliably agent-doable.
