Study work order requests to determine type of service, such as lighting or power, demanded by installation.

“Study work order requests to determine type of service, such as lighting or power, demanded by installation.” is a core task performed by Electrical and Electronics Drafters. Among the occupation's 30 rated tasks, workers place it 15th by importance (#16 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 E1. Direct exposure — a language model could plausibly cut the time to do this task 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 1.00. Automation potential label: T2.
