Most exposed

Where AI can do more

Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.

  1. Troubleshoot program and system malfunctions to restore normal functioning.80
  2. Develop, document, and revise system design procedures, test procedures, and quality standards.80
  3. Review and analyze computer printouts and performance indicators to locate code problems, and correct errors by correcting codes.79
  4. Consult with management to ensure agreement on system principles.79
Hardest to automate

Where people still matter

These tasks score lowest on automation feasibility—physical presence, judgement, accountability and real-world variability all resist end-to-end automation.

Beyond AI capability

Adoption and labour-market outlook

Structural factors are kept separate from raw capability so you can see what actually resists automation. Adoption pressure and labour-market resilience are still provisional models—25% of this occupation’s replacement-risk weight rests on them.
