The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
15% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Provide preliminary sketches or cost estimates for materials or services
- Perform business management duties, such as maintaining records or files, preparing reports, or ordering supplies or equipment
- Prepare sketches or follow blueprints to determine the location of wiring or equipment and to ensure conformance to building and safety codes
- Plan layout and installation of electrical wiring, equipment, or fixtures, based on job specifications and local codes
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Place conduit, pipes, or tubing, inside designated partitions, walls, or other concealed areas, and pull insulated wires or cables through the conduit to complete circuits between boxes
- Work from ladders, scaffolds, or roofs to install, maintain, or repair electrical wiring, equipment, or fixtures
- Use a variety of tools or equipment, such as power construction equipment, measuring devices, power tools, and testing equipment, such as oscilloscopes, ammeters, or test lamps
- Assemble, install, test, or maintain electrical or electronic wiring, equipment, appliances, apparatus, or fixtures, using hand tools or power tools
- Connect wires to circuit breakers, transformers, or other components
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
