Most exposed

Where AI can do more

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

  1. Operate equipment to demonstrate proper use or to analyze malfunctions.77
  2. Set up and test industrial equipment to ensure that it functions properly.77
  3. Develop or modify industrial electronic devices, circuits, or equipment, according to available specifications.77
  4. Enter information into computer to copy program or to draw, modify, or store schematics, applying knowledge of software package used.76
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.
