Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is set to impact, but not transform, the work of Electrical and Electronics Drafters.
Blue-collar jobs like this are unlikely to be automated by GenAI due to its inability to perform physical tasks.
The unique automation wave of GenAI may even increase demand for blue-collar workers, leading to a rise in their income share.
However, some skills used in this job, such as Digital Data Processing and Information Ordering, could be automated in the future.
Despite this, tasks requiring critical thinking, judgment, and time management will likely remain the responsibility of human workers in this field.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
Artificial Intelligence and automation could potentially assist in tasks such as drafting detail and assembly drawings, generating documentation packages, and verifying specifications for drafting data.
However, the complex nature of interpreting design concepts and resolving problems may still require human intervention.
For example, AI could be used to automate the generation of basic drawings, but the expertise of Electrical and Electronics Drafters is crucial in discussing design concepts with engineers and ensuring accuracy in the final product.
Job description
Prepares diagrams for wiring, circuit board assembly, and layout drawings used in making, installing, or fixing electrical equipment.
