Examine structures or vehicles such as aircraft, trains, nuclear reactors, bridges, dams, and pipelines, using non-destructive testing techniques.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median/cap20] score 20 (raw 30 | A 35 / B 5 / C 30 | modality: physical_primary) AI can automate defect detection and some robotic data collection, but most NDT still needs human setup, equipment handling, and expert judgment. (capable: Deep learning NDT analysis software (e.g., AI-driven ultrasonic/radiography defect detection))

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
