OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
2%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Still standing — but the ground is warm.
52% 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 course materials, such as syllabi, homework assignments, and handouts
- Maintain student attendance records, grades, and other required records
- Compile, administer, and grade examinations, or assign this work to others
- Write grant proposals to procure external research funding and review others' grant proposals
- Write letters of recommendation for students
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Initiate, facilitate, and moderate classroom discussions
- Supervise students' laboratory or field work
- Serve on academic or administrative committees that deal with institutional policies, departmental matters, and academic issues
- Participate in campus and community events
- Maintain regularly scheduled office hours to advise and assist students
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.
