AI can do the arithmetic, build the spreadsheet formula and suggest what to look at. Deciding what the numbers mean for your situation is still you.
Part of Develop scientific or mathematical theories or models, under the O*NET work activity group Thinking Creatively. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (0 AI-ready, 10 AI-assist, 0 stays human).
Tasks built on this activity
- Develop or use mathematical or computer models for weather forecasting.
- Develop and test theories, using information from interviews, newspapers, periodicals, case law, historical papers, polls, or statistical sources.
- Develop theories based on personal observations or on observations and theories of other astronomers.
- Design computer simulations to model physical data so that it can be better understood.
- Develop computer models to address transportation planning issues.
- Perform experiments and computer modeling to study the nature, structure, and physical and chemical properties of metals and their alloys, and their responses to applied forces.
- Develop theories and laws on the basis of observation and experiments, and apply these theories and laws to problems in areas such as nuclear energy, optics, and aerospace technology.
- Develop or test new methods or models of transportation analysis.
- Plan or develop research models, using knowledge of mathematical and statistical concepts.
