Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median/cap20] score 20 (raw 35 | A 35 / B 5 / C 35 | modality: physical_primary) AI can generate CNC programs and run machines, but most shops still need humans to physically set up, load tools, and make adjustments, limiting automation to a minority of the task. (capable: AI-driven CNC programming/CAM software (e.g., Fusion 360, Siemens NX CAM) with standard CNC controllers)

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machinists | Manufacturing | 4.6/5 | core | 5 |
