Provide aircrews with information and services needed for airfield management and flight planning.

“Provide aircrews with information and services needed for airfield management and flight planning.” is a core task performed by Airfield Operations Specialists. Among the occupation's 27 rated tasks, workers place it 8th by importance (#20 most important). About 77% of workers say it is relevant to their job.

This is a single occupation-specific task statement from O*NET. The figures below describe how central the task is to the job and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the task will be automated.

AI exposure

The OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rates this task E2. Exposure with tools — software built on top of a language model (not the model alone) could cut the time by at least half.

Exposure measures whether a model could meaningfully speed the task up — it is an estimate of overlap with model capabilities, not a measure of whether the work will be done by software. The study's intermediate score (β) for this task is 0.50. Automation potential label: T2.

How AI is actually used on this kind of task

The Anthropic Economic Index observes how people actually use AI on tasks like this one across millions of real conversations.

• 0.004% share of AI-use records mapped to this task
• Most common interaction: directive
• Average autonomy of the AI: 2.7 (1–5; higher = more autonomous)
• 100% of interactions still needed a human in the loop

Observed AI use describes people choosing to use AI as a tool on this kind of task today. It is augmentation and assistance, not a measure of jobs replaced.
