- List six tasks, including routine work, communication, judgment, documentation, and responsibility.
- Assign each task to a human, AI, or a human-plus-AI team.

If you get stuck
- Include planning, follow-up, communication, and repair, not only the most visible task.
- “Both” needs a division of labor: what does AI do and what does the human check?
- Do not make unsupported predictions that an entire career will disappear.
Before you submit
- Upload a readable copy of page 7. You may submit a document, PDF, photo, or short video walkthrough using the options your teacher enables.
- Keep your complete casebook; later days require evidence from earlier pages.
