Most exposed

Where AI can do more

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

  1. Supervise employees or subcontractors to ensure quality of work or adherence to safety regulations or policies.68
  2. Train or coordinate the training of employees in operations, safety, environmental issues, or technical issues.68
  3. Recruit or select wind operations employees, contractors, or subcontractors.68
  4. Track and maintain records for wind operations, such as site performance, downtime events, parts usage, or substation events.67
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.
