EXPOSURE TO AI

Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
Robots can’t hold a hand, a scalpel, or your nerve.
14% 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. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Complete forms describing tasks completed
- Radio to flight dispatchers or other personnel to discuss incoming or outgoing aircraft
- Inspect aircraft components to locate cracks, breaks, leaks, or other problems
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Apply de-icing fluid to aircraft from baskets lifted by truck-mounted cranes
- Change aircraft oil, coolant, or other fluids
- Clean aircraft interiors by picking up waste, wiping down windows, or vacuuming
- Climb ladders to reach aircraft surfaces to be cleaned
- De-grease aircraft exteriors
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.
