What does a score of 40 mean for a Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers?

It means that, weighted across the 18 tasks we analyzed for this role, the task mix sits at 40 on a 0–100 exposure scale — in the third quartile of analyzed occupations. It measures task exposure to current and near-term AI capabilities, not the probability of losing a job.

Which tasks in this role are most exposed to AI?

This role has no strongly automatable task in the current data release.

Which parts of this job are most durable?

The most durable responsibilities are: Inspect mining areas for unsafe structures, equipment, and working conditions; Supervise, train, and evaluate technicians, technologists, survey personnel, engineers, scientists or other mine personnel; Test air to detect toxic gases and recommend measures to remove them, such as installation of ventilation shafts. Durable tasks typically depend on judgment, relationships, physical presence, or accountability.

Is this score personalized to me?

No — this page shows the occupation-level baseline. Two people with the same title often do different work. The $9 personalized report recalculates the score from the tasks you actually do and builds a concrete 7/30/90-day plan around them.

Task exposure values and classifications are published, versioned estimates audited against the anchored rubric. This page reads them from the data release rather than generating them at request time. Bars show exposure contribution relative to this role’s task mix.

What this means

A score of 40 puts Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers in the third quartile of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this high is about the mix: 0 of 18 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 12 augmentable, and 6 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.

Lower-exposure adjacent roles

No adjacent role in the current data release is at least 10 points lower with ≥50% skill overlap — we don’t label anything “safer” unless the data supports it.

How this score was calculated

The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 18 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):

Augmentable 12 tasks, averaging 49/100 exposure
Durable 6 tasks, averaging 22/100 exposure

score = (12×49 + 6×22) ÷ 18 ≈ 40

Every task’s exposure value was scored against a published anchored rubric that scores tasks as actually performed — physical, in-person, and accountability requirements included (data release 2026.07.12-r2). The band (High) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
