Identify new sources of platinum group elements for industrial applications, such as automotive fuel cells or pollution abatement systems.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 5 (raw 5 | A 45 / B 5 / C 5 | modality: other) AI can mine literature and run ML-based prospectivity models to suggest promising PGE deposits, but professional-quality source identification still requires human geological interpretation and field validation. (capable: ML-driven mineral prospectivity mapping platforms (e.g., IBM Watson for Mining, Seequent Leapfrog with AI extensions))

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers | Cross-industry | 3.2/5 | core | 8 |
