Conduct surveys to ascertain the locations of natural features and man-made structures on the Earth's surface, underground, and underwater, using electronic distance-measuring equipment, such as GPS, and other surveying instruments.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 10 (raw 10 | A 5 / B 25 / C 10 | modality: physical_primary) While AI and software can process survey data and perform photogrammetry, the physical act of deploying instruments, establishing control points, and navigating complex terrain to collect raw field data requires human presence and manual dexterity that is not widely automated. (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.
