Provide information about potential health hazards and possible interventions to the media, the public, other health care professionals, or local, state, and federal health authorities.

“Provide information about potential health hazards and possible interventions to the media, the public, other health care professionals, or local, state, and federal health authorities.” is a core task performed by Preventive Medicine Physicians. Among the occupation's 15 rated tasks, workers place it 7th by importance (#9 most important). About 100% 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.

O*NET groups concrete tasks into broader work activities shared across many occupations.

• Provide information or assistance to the public. in Communicating with People Outside the Organization

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.

• 0.005% share of AI-use records mapped to this task
• 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.
