OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
5%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Mostly fireproof. AI hands you the paperwork and steps back.
28% 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
- Perform general administrative tasks, such as keeping records or writing reports
- File athlete insurance claims and communicate with insurance providers
- Teach sports medicine courses to athletic training students
- Conduct an initial assessment of an athlete's injury or illness to provide emergency or continued care and to determine whether they should be referred to physicians for definitive diagnosis and treatment
- Assess and report the progress of recovering athletes to coaches or physicians
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Care for athletic injuries, using physical therapy equipment, techniques, or medication
- Evaluate athletes' readiness to play and provide participation clearances when necessary and warranted
- Clean and sanitize athletic training rooms
- Apply protective or injury preventive devices, such as tape, bandages, or braces, to body parts, such as ankles, fingers, or wrists
- Travel with athletic teams to be available at sporting events
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.
