of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
A co-pilot is coming for the busywork, not the wheel.
35% 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. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Write reports of activities, and maintain files of impoundments and dispositions of animals
- Answer inquiries from the public concerning animal control operations
- Prepare for prosecutions related to animal treatment, and give evidence in court
- Contact animal owners to inform them that their pets are at animal holding facilities
- Educate the public about animal welfare, and animal control laws and regulations
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Capture and remove stray, uncontrolled, or abused animals from undesirable conditions, using nets, nooses, or tranquilizer darts as necessary
- Supply animals with food, water, and personal care
- Examine animals for injuries or malnutrition, and arrange for any necessary medical treatment
- Clean facilities and equipment such as dog pens and animal control trucks
- Remove captured animals from animal-control service vehicles and place animals in shelter cages or other enclosures
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.
