Coordinate software or hardware installation.

Coordinate software or hardware installation. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 5 occupations and seen in 6 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Direct scientific or technical activities. in Guiding, Directing, and Motivating Subordinates .

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 6 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 5 (83%) 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 1 of these tasks, with a mean mapped-usage share of 0.301% 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.

• Direct the installation of operating systems, network or application software, or computer or network hardware. · Computer Systems Engineers/Architects · importance 4.1 · exposure with tools
• Test, maintain, and monitor computer programs and systems, including coordinating the installation of computer programs and systems. · Computer Systems Analysts · importance 4.0 · direct LLM exposure
• Coordinate installation of new equipment. · Computer Network Architects · importance 4.0 · no direct exposure
• Install, or coordinate installation of, new or modified hardware, software, or programming modules of telecommunications systems. · Telecommunications Engineering Specialists · importance 3.9 · direct LLM exposure
