Neurologists

Every task in this role, whether it passes the census's structural hand-over screen, which models pass it, and why. It is a screen, not a claim about what AI can do: a task can pass and still be beyond the systems of the day. The stricter and looser rules re-vote every task, and small differences between roles are noise.

No task in this role passes the screen.

Does not pass

  • Examine patients to obtain information about functional status of areas, such as vision, physical strength, coordination, reflexes, sensations, language skills, cognitive abilities, and mental status.

    physical work, outside the screen · 6.8% of the role's time · $141M

  • Interview patients to obtain information, such as complaints, symptoms, medical histories, and family histories.

    reason given most often: no existing check settles it · 6.4% of the role's time · $133M
