OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Well done. And by that we mean: cooked.
71% 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. Deeply cooked. Almost the entire task list is something a model can already attempt.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Develop new software applications or customize existing applications to meet specific scientific project needs
- Create novel computational approaches and analytical tools as required by research goals
- Develop data models and databases
- Design and apply bioinformatics algorithms including unsupervised and supervised machine learning, dynamic programming, or graphic algorithms
- Create or modify web-based bioinformatics tools
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Almost nothing here is clearly out of reach. That’s the warning in this one.
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 71% cooked. What’s yours?"
