Cartographers and Photogrammetrists: which tasks is AI doing?
1 of its 14 tasks show measurable AI use, and 99% of that use is automation (AI doing the task) rather than augmentation (AI helping a person do it).
Research, study, and prepare maps and other spatial data in digital or graphic form for one or more purposes, such as legal, social, political, educational, and design purposes. May work with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). May design and evaluate algorithms, data structures, and user interfaces for GIS and mapping systems. May collect, analyze, and interpret geographic information provided by geodetic surveys, aerial photographs, and satellite data.

Which of these does AI already do for you?
Tick the tasks AI handles in your version of this job. Whatever stays unticked is what keeps a person needed: the links a chain waits on. The bars show where people already use AI for each task, from real usage data.
How to read this
Observed use is not the same as replacement. A task can see heavy AI use while the job grows, because the remaining tasks, such as judgment, accountability, and dealing with people, become more valuable. That is the weak-link pattern behind the explainer.
Task lists and wages are US data. The tasks are broadly similar in other countries; pay and employment are not. For your own economy, see work and jobs by country.
