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
- Maintain programming logs as required by station management and the Federal Communications Commission
- Set up, operate, and maintain broadcast station computers and networks
- Substitute programs in cases where signals fail
- Design and modify equipment to employer specifications
- Schedule programming or read television programming logs to determine which programs are to be recorded or aired
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Install broadcast equipment, troubleshoot equipment problems, and perform maintenance or minor repairs, using hand tools
- Report equipment problems, ensure that repairs are made, and make emergency repairs to equipment when necessary and possible
- Align antennae with receiving dishes to obtain the clearest signal for transmission of broadcasts from field locations
- Organize recording sessions and prepare areas, such as radio booths and television stations, for recording
- Set up and operate portable field transmission equipment outside the studio
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.
