of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The robots can help. They can’t replace the room you read.
30% 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. Mostly safe. AI helps around the edges, but the job stays human.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Calculate load weights for different aircraft compartments, using charts and computers
- Determine the quantity and orientation of cargo, and compute an aircraft's center of gravity
- Distribute cargo to maximize use of space
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Direct ground crews in the loading, unloading, securing, or staging of aircraft cargo or baggage
- Train new employees in areas such as safety procedures or equipment operation
- Accompany aircraft as a member of the flight crew to monitor and handle cargo in flight
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.
