Automatable

A task performed by Aerospace Engineers

Formulate mathematical models or other methods of computer analysis to develop, evaluate, or modify design, according to customer engineering requirements.

R&D OpportunityWorkers want it · AI can't yet

Not yet. Workers want this automated (3/5), but experts rate today's AI capability at only 2/5, the technology isn't there. It's an R&D Opportunity.

How to automate this

Workers want this gone, but today's tools only get part of the way. Automate the edges.

Judgment, review & checks

Automate the checks, keep the decision with a person.

  1. 1Write down the rules and checklists you follow to formulate mathematical models or other methods of computer analysis to develop, then encode them so routine cases are flagged automatically.
  2. 2Add validation rules to catch errors before they reach you.
  3. 3Let AI pre-screen and surface the exceptions, you decide the hard ones.
