Exhibit 7 combines Lightcast job-posting analysis and US Bureau of Labor Statistics employment: occupations where AI fluency appeared in at least 5% of postings employed about 1.0 million workers in 2023 and 7.0 million in 2025. The report identifies May 2025 postings in its methods.",
      "note": "Employees in occupations crossing a posting threshold, not AI users, people with AI skills, vacancies or new jobs. The rounded values are retained; no causal productivity or employment outcome is inferred. This is older supporting evidence, not a November 2026 release. Automation-potential and economic-value scenarios are not measured outcomes."

Senior experts were selected and participation expanded through snowball sampling; this is not a representative survey of creative workers, industries or Dubai.
