Lower Risk

Trades

Low Voltage Technician

AI is poised to impact Low Voltage Technicians primarily through robotics and computer vision. Robotics can automate some of the physical installation tasks, while computer vision can assist in inspection and troubleshooting. LLMs will likely play a smaller role, assisting with documentation and report generation.

Top risks:

Installing and terminating low voltage cabling (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6, fiber optic)40%
Troubleshooting and diagnosing low voltage systems (e.g., network issues, security system malfunctions)30%
Installing and configuring security systems (e.g., CCTV cameras, access control systems)50%

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%
