LowHow likely exposure is to translate into reduced human demand.
Includes provisional estimates for AI adoption pressure and labour-market resilience. How this is measured
Confidence reflects task coverage, mapping and capability-evidence quality, and how much of the score rests on provisional inputs.
Task-level evidence
What is driving the score?
Occupation scores are built from the task mix—not a single prediction about a job title.

Where AI can do more
Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.
- Diagnose problems involving wind turbine generators or control systems.64
- Start or restart wind turbine generator systems to ensure proper operations.63
- Test structures, controls, or mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical systems, according to test plans or in coordination with engineers.63
- Test electrical components of wind systems with devices, such as voltage testers, multimeters, oscilloscopes, infrared testers, or fiber optic equipment.59
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.

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.
