The pathway, across marketsHow AI-central technology roles read on the four tests
Every AI-central role is then read on four tests. Accountable is one of them.
Of 3,197 AI-central roles in the technology sector, week ending 2 October 2026, each test on its own: works with the model, 516 of 3,197 (16.1%); can overrule it, 258 of 3,197 (8.1%); is accountable for what it produces, 597 of 3,197 (18.7%); keeps decisions over it, 873 of 3,197 (27.3%).
Beside the four tests, as context: 2,318 of 3,197 meet none of the four tests (72.5%).

How this is measured
Live specs. Employers are never named against a figure. Each role is read on whether it involves AI, whether AI sits at the centre of the work, and whether the role is accountable for what the model produces. Each measure's share is on the measure before it. A page publishes at 150 or more live specs. A cell under 30 prints its counts and no share; under 150 its count and base print beside its share. A sector cell inside a market publishes with 10 or more employers in it, and is held under that.
