Review work requests and compare them with previous work completed on ships to ensure that costs are economically sound.

“Review work requests and compare them with previous work completed on ships to ensure that costs are economically sound.” is a core task performed by Marine Engineers and Naval Architects. Among the occupation's 30 rated tasks, workers place it 1st by importance (#30 most important). About 68% 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.
