Monitor systems for intrusions or denial of service attacks, and report security breaches to appropriate personnel.

“Monitor systems for intrusions or denial of service attacks, and report security breaches to appropriate personnel.” is a core task performed by Web Administrators. Among the occupation's 35 rated tasks, workers place it 35th by importance (#1 most important). About 95% 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: T3.

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.

• 0.012% share of AI-use records mapped to this task
• 53% of that use is work-related
• Most common interaction: directive
• Average autonomy of the AI: 3.6 (1–5; higher = more autonomous)
• 74% 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.
