Web Administrators
of tasks in the Web Administrators role are ones AI can already do, per AI experts.
From a Stanford study where AI experts and web administrators workers rated each real task (O*NET). Not a guess from the job title.
Key statistics
Free to cite, with a link back to Automatable.
- AI can already do 91% of the 11 work tasks in the Web Administrators role, according to AI experts in the Stanford WORKBank study (O*NET SOC 15-1299.01).
- Workers in the Web Administrators role want about 91% of their tasks automated (Stanford WORKBank, 1,500 U.S. workers).
- 10 of 11 Web Administrators tasks are Automation Green Light, wanted by workers and do-able by AI, that is 91% of the role (Stanford WORKBank).
- The typical Web Administrators task scores 3.56/5 for worker desire to automate and 4.18/5 for AI capability today (Stanford WORKBank, 1-5 scale).

- Back up or modify applications and related data to provide for disaster recovery.
- Install or configure Web server software or hardware to ensure that directory structure is well-defined, logical, and secure, and that files are named properly.
- Set up or maintain monitoring tools on Web servers or Web sites.
- Implement updates, upgrades, and patches in a timely manner to limit loss of service.
- Test issues such as system integration, performance, and system security on a regular schedule or after any major program modifications.
- Track, compile, and analyze Web site usage data.
