Analyze test or performance data to assess equipment operation.

Analyze test or performance data to assess equipment operation. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 7 occupations and seen in 7 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Analyze performance of systems or equipment. in Analyzing Data or Information .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 7 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 6 (86%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

The Anthropic Economic Index observes real AI use on 3 of these tasks, with a mean mapped-usage share of 0.005% per task.

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Analyze test data to diagnose malfunctions, to determine performance characteristics of systems, or to evaluate effects of system modifications. · Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Powerhouse, Substation, and Relay · importance 4.2 · exposure with tools
• Inspect or test lines or cables, recording and analyzing test results, to assess transmission characteristics and locate faults or malfunctions. · Telecommunications Line Installers and Repairers · importance 4.2 · no direct exposure
• Interpret flight test data to diagnose malfunctions and systemic performance problems. · Avionics Technicians · importance 4.1 · exposure with tools
• Analyze equipment performance records to assess equipment functioning. · Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers · importance 3.9 · exposure with tools
• Compile and analyze test information to determine process or equipment operating efficiency or to diagnose malfunctions. · Chemists · importance 3.9 · exposure with tools
