OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The machines are eyeing your desk.
50% 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
- Collect historical cost data to estimate costs for current or future products
- Consult with clients, vendors, personnel in other departments, or construction foremen to discuss and formulate estimates and resolve issues
- Prepare estimates used by management for purposes such as planning, organizing, and scheduling work
- Analyze blueprints and other documentation to prepare time, cost, materials, and labor estimates
- Assess cost effectiveness of products, projects or services, tracking actual costs relative to bids as the project develops
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 50% cooked. What’s yours?"
