Trades

Electrical Inspector

AI is poised to impact electrical inspectors through computer vision for automated defect detection in electrical systems and components, and LLMs for generating inspection reports and ensuring code compliance. Robotics could assist in physically accessing and inspecting hard-to-reach areas. These technologies will likely augment, rather than fully replace, inspectors, enhancing their efficiency and accuracy.

Top risks:

Inspect electrical systems and components for compliance with codes and regulations40%

Trades

Mill Worker

AI is poised to impact mill workers primarily through automation of routine tasks via robotics and computer vision. Computer vision systems can monitor product quality and identify defects, while robotics can automate material handling and repetitive processes. LLMs are less directly applicable but could assist in optimizing production schedules and maintenance logs.

Top risks:

Operate machinery to cut, shape, or form materials60%
Monitor machine operations to detect malfunctions or deviations from standards70%
Adjust machine settings to maintain product quality or production volume40%
