Plan or conduct geological, geochemical, or geophysical field studies or surveys, sample collection, or drilling and testing programs used to collect data for research or application.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 18 (raw 18 | A 18 / B 5 / C 25 | modality: physical_primary) AI can assist in designing surveys and analyzing data, but field execution, sample collection, and drilling still require human presence and are not widely automated. (capable: AI-driven survey planning software (e.g., EarthAI) with GIS integration)

How exposure was assessed
[v4/median] score 18 (raw 18 | A 18 / B 5 / C 25 | modality: physical_primary) AI can assist in designing surveys and analyzing data, but field execution, sample collection, and drilling still require human presence and are not widely automated. (capable: AI-driven survey planning software (e.g., EarthAI) with GIS integration)
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 | 4.3/5 | core | 8 |
Evidence
Evidence (0)
No evidence item is mapped to this specific task yet. The exposure figure above rests on the v1 editorial baseline and on the capability assessment, and should be treated as low-confidence. Pages with fewer than 0 evidence items are excluded from sitemaps.
