OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
4%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Still standing — but the ground is warm.
57% 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
- Develop or use mathematical or computer models for weather forecasting
- Prepare scientific atmospheric or climate reports, articles, or texts
- Speak to the public to discuss weather topics or answer questions
- Develop computer programs to collect meteorological data or to present meteorological information
- Broadcast weather conditions, forecasts, or severe weather warnings to the public via television, radio, or the Internet or provide this information to the news media
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Collect air samples from planes or ships over land or sea to study atmospheric composition
- Measure wind, temperature, and humidity in the upper atmosphere, using weather balloons
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 57% cooked. What’s yours?"
