Task automation exposure
Low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 35 (raw 35 | A 45 / B 35 / C 35 | modality: other) AI-driven generative design and CAD tools can produce competent preliminary specifications and sketches, but professional-quality, fully validated designs still require significant human engineering oversight. (capable: Generative Design (Autodesk Fusion 360))

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.
