EXPOSURE TO AI

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.
44% 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
- Prepare course materials, such as syllabi, homework assignments, and handouts
- Maintain student attendance records, grades, and other required records
- Write grant proposals to procure external research funding
- Compile bibliographies of specialized materials for outside reading assignments
- Evaluate and grade students' class work, performances, projects, assignments, and papers
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Initiate, facilitate, and moderate classroom discussions
- Participate in campus and community events
- Explain and demonstrate artistic techniques
- Collaborate with colleagues to address teaching and research issues
- Act as advisers to student organizations
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.
"My job is 44% cooked. What’s yours?"
