Evaluate characteristics of individuals to determine needs or eligibility.

Evaluate characteristics of individuals to determine needs or eligibility. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 9 occupations and seen in 11 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Assess living, work, or social needs or status of individuals or communities. in Judging the Qualities of Objects, Services, or People .

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 11 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 9 (82%) 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 0.013% 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.
