EXPOSURE TO AI

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.

15% 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. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.

WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
  • Keep records on individual children, including daily observations and information about activities, meals served, and medications administered
  • Perform general administrative tasks, such as taking attendance, editing internal paperwork, and making phone calls
  • Help children with homework and school work
  • Create developmentally appropriate lesson plans
  • Perform general personnel functions, such as supervision, training, and scheduling
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Maintain a safe play environment
  • Observe and monitor children's play activities
  • Support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts
  • Care for children in institutional setting, such as group homes, nursery schools, private businesses, or schools for the handicapped
  • Sanitize toys and play equipment
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.
