'Early 2030s' deadline recorded as end-2032; outcome not yet determinable.

“Automation will come in three overlapping waves: an algorithm wave to the early 2020s putting around 3% of jobs at potential high risk, an augmentation wave to the late 2020s raising this to around 20%, and an autonomy wave to the mid-2030s raising it to around 30% of existing jobs.”
