Which tasks are exposed

Risk applies to individual tasks—not to a person or an entire occupation.

Task	Risk
preparing the worksite and tools	48%
reading the work order or process sheet	43%
performing the core manual operation	39%
checking dimensions and quality	34%
moving materials	28%
correcting local defects	18%
following safety procedures	7%
handing over completed work	3%

What the score means

The score for Electric Gas Welder reflects the share of formalised repeatable work, the availability of digital data and the feasibility of robotics. Tasks involving accountability, physical variability and professional judgement are much better protected.

AI exposure

The share of cognitive, textual, visual or analytical work that current AI systems can technically assist with or perform.

Robotics

The extent to which robots, autonomous machinery and computer vision can perform physical operations in a prepared environment.

53%

Routine work

The share of operations that repeat, follow stable rules and produce a predictable result.

64%

Digitalization

How much of the input, workflow and output already exists in digital form.

19%

Business incentive

The economic incentive to automate based on task volume, labor cost, frequency and implementation cost.

38%

Human moat

Protection created by accountability, trust, empathy, licensing, negotiation and unpredictable real-world environments.

66%

Why technology can change this work

digital tools reduce preparation and control time
repeatable physical operations can be mechanised or robotised in structured environments
a material share of the job follows stable procedures
key information often emerges only through direct work
