Automation index

How much of a Materials engineer’s job can AI already do?

A tensile curve comes earlier. Picking the alloy so it does not fail in service do not.

This percentage does not predict how many people will lose their jobs.

Task weights are our estimates based on O*NET frequency data, not time shares published by O*NET.

The time saving for each task is estimated separately.
