Very low exposure · 1 occupations · 0 evidence

Adjust or maintain equipment, such as lasers, laser systems, microscopes, oscilloscopes, pulse generators, power meters…

Adjust or maintain equipment, such as lasers, laser systems, microscopes, oscilloscopes, pulse generators, power meters, beam analyzers, or energy measurement devices.

Task automation exposure

8/100

Very low exposure

Exposure basis

[v4/median] score 8 (raw 8 | A 8 / B 5 / C 10 | modality: physical_primary) Most adjustments and maintenance still require hands‑on manipulation and troubleshooting that only limited, non‑widely‑deployed automation can handle. (capable: None - human-led)

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.

Strongest applicable capability0/100

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.
