Perform laboratory studies of steps in manufacture of new products and test proposed processes in small-scale operation, such as a pilot plant.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 5 (raw 5 | A 5 / B 5 / C 5 | modality: physical_primary) This task requires physical presence, manual dexterity, and hands-on manipulation of laboratory equipment and pilot plant infrastructure, which current AI software and widely deployed automation cannot perform. (capable: None - human-led)

Basis
How exposure was assessed
[v4/median] score 5 (raw 5 | A 5 / B 5 / C 5 | modality: physical_primary) This task requires physical presence, manual dexterity, and hands-on manipulation of laboratory equipment and pilot plant infrastructure, which current AI software and widely deployed automation cannot perform. (capable: None - human-led)
How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
Occupations
Occupations that perform this task (1)
Importance is the O*NET-style weight of this task within each occupation. The same task can be highly exposed but peripheral to one job and core to another.
| Occupation | Industry | Importance | Role | Occupation AI exposure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical Engineers | Cross-industry | 3.3/5 | core | 10 |
