Task automation exposure
Low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 40 (raw 40 | A 40 / B 85 / C 35 | modality: other) AI CAD tools can generate initial layouts and sketches, but professional quality still requires human refinement and oversight. (capable: Generative CAD AI tools (e.g., Autodesk Generative Design, Fusion 360 AI features))

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.
