Monitor access or flow of people to prevent problems.

Monitor access or flow of people to prevent problems. 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 Monitor safety or security of work areas, facilities, or properties. in Monitoring Processes, Materials, or Surroundings .

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, 1 (17%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

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.

• Monitor traffic flow to locate safe gaps through which pedestrians can cross streets. · Crossing Guards and Flaggers · importance 4.7 · no direct exposure
• Monitor and authorize entrance and departure of employees, visitors, and other persons to guard against theft and maintain security of premises. · Security Guards · importance 4.7 · no direct exposure
• Monitor and authorize entry of employees, visitors, or other persons. · First-Line Supervisors of Security Workers · importance 4.7 · no direct exposure
• Monitor traffic to ensure motorists observe traffic regulations and exhibit safe driving procedures. · Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers · importance 4.3 · no direct exposure
• Question individuals entering secured areas to determine their business, directing and rerouting individuals as necessary. · Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers · importance 3.9 · no direct exposure
• Monitor passenger flow through screening checkpoints to ensure order and efficiency. · Transportation Security Screeners · importance 3.8 · exposure with tools
