Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 15 (raw 15 | A 5 / B 15 / C 25 | modality: other) While AI can assist in data analysis and literature review, the core task of planning and directing complex biological studies requires human judgment, experimental design, and physical oversight of laboratory or clinical procedures that are not currently 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.
Occupations
Occupations that perform this task (1)
Importance is the O*NET-style weight of this task within each occupation. The same task can be highly exposed but peripheral to one job and core to another.
| Occupation | Industry | Importance | Role | Occupation AI exposure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists | Cross-industry | 4.5/5 | core | 7 |
