OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
8%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The machines are eyeing your desk.
59% 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
- Calculate dimensions, square footage, profile and component specifications, and material quantities, using calculator or computer
- Prepare reports and document project activities and data
- Read and review project blueprints and structural specifications to determine dimensions of structure or system and material requirements
- Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects to ensure conformance to specifications
- Analyze proposed site factors and design maps, graphs, tracings, and diagrams to illustrate findings
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 59% cooked. What’s yours?"
