The AI Task Intelligence Handbook: Stop Choosing AI Tools. Start Choosing the Right Tasks.

A practical AI task assessment workbook to help you decide where to use AI, where to keep human control and when not to use AI at all.

Using AI without assessing the task can waste time, increase errors and expose sensitive information.

Before introducing AI into your work, take a step back. Identify the task. Check whether it is suitable. Assess the risks. Test the results. Then make your decision.

This workbook gives you a practical method to do exactly that.

Make Better Decisions Before Using AI

Use the five-dimensional ATSS framework to assess any work task:

• Task Value: Is the task worth improving?
• Repeatability: Does the task follow a regular process?
• Input Readiness: Do you have clear and usable information?
• Verifiability: Can you check whether the result is correct?
• Human Judgement Fit: Can the task use AI without removing necessary human judgement?

Score each dimension from 0 to 4. Review the result, examine the risks and decide how AI should be used.

Put the Method into Practice

Work through the seven-step assessment process:

1. Define the task you want to improve.
2. Set clear standards for an acceptable result.
3. Score the task using ATSS.
4. Identify risks and required controls.
5. Decide which responsibilities belong to AI and which remain with people.
6. Run a controlled trial and measure the results.
7. Decide whether to adopt, revise, restrict or stop.

Do not rely on assumptions. Test the task against your actual working conditions.

What You Can Do With This Workbook

• Assess workplace tasks before introducing AI.
• Identify tasks that may benefit from AI assistance.
• Recognise tasks that require human judgement.
• Check privacy, security, accuracy and intellectual property risks.
• Set clear human review and approval responsibilities.
• Compare AI-assisted work with your existing method.
• Measure completion time, errors, corrections, acceptance and cost.
• Record the reasons behind your final adoption decision.

Learn Through Four Practical Examples

Apply the method to four different situations:

• Summarising a public report.
• Preparing routine customer replies.
• Making a final hiring decision.
• Developing public marketing ideas.

See how task suitability, risk and human responsibility affect the final decision.
