OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
30%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Automate-adjacent. Keep the parts only you can sign off on.
50% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. Heavily exposed. Most of the tasks are within reach of today’s AI.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Prepare written opinions and decisions
- Explain to claimants how they can appeal rulings that go against them
- Authorize payment of valid claims and determine method of payment
- Research and analyze laws, regulations, policies, and precedent decisions to prepare for hearings and to determine conclusions
- Review and evaluate data on documents, such as claim applications, birth or death certificates, or physician or employer records
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Monitor and direct the activities of trials and hearings to ensure that they are conducted fairly and that courts administer justice while safeguarding the legal rights of all involved parties
- Issue subpoenas and administer oaths in preparation for formal hearings
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
