Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 10 (raw 10 | A 45 / B 5 / C 10 | modality: physical_primary) CNC machines and modern CAM software can automatically generate and execute toolpaths with high precision, but human expertise is still required for workpiece setup, fixturing, tool changes, and final quality inspection. (capable: CNC controllers with CAM software (e.g., Fusion 360, Mastercam) and robotic workpiece handling where deployed)

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 | 4.8/5 | core | 5 |
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.
