AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Carpentry is predominantly a physical trade centered around manual tasks such as cutting, shaping, assembling, and installing materials on site. Current AI tools offer marginal utility to these core physical workflows, mainly aiding with secondary administrative and preparatory tasks such as automated material estimations from blueprints, project scheduling, spatial measuring assistance, and progress reporting.
What the work involves and who it suits, beyond AI.
What the two scores mean
Automation exposure is how much of the work current AI can already perform. A high score means the tasks are exposed, not that the job will disappear: how employers use that is a separate question.
AI assistance potential is how much AI tools make a worker in this occupation more capable. It is upside, not risk — a job can score high on both.
