The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
10% 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
- Maintain production records
- Read production schedules to determine setups of equipment and machines
- Inspect coated or plated areas for defects, such as air bubbles or uneven coverage
- Examine completed objects to determine thicknesses of metal deposits, or measure thicknesses by using instruments such as micrometers
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Immerse workpieces in coating solutions or liquid metal or plastic for specified times
- Adjust dials to regulate flow of current and voltage supplied to terminals to control plating processes
- Set up, operate, or tend plating or coating machines to coat metal or plastic products with chromium, zinc, copper, cadmium, nickel, or other metal to protect or decorate surfaces
- Observe gauges to ensure that machines are operating properly, making adjustments or stopping machines when problems occur
- Remove objects from solutions at periodic intervals and observe objects to verify conformance to specifications
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.
