EXPOSURE TO AI
4%
RESILIENT
OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.

4% 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
  • Read documentation to confirm the identity of the deceased
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Clean the crematorium, including tables, floors, and equipment
  • Embalm, dress, or otherwise prepare the deceased for viewing
  • Explain the cremation process to family or friends of the deceased
  • Pick up and handle human or pet remains in a respectful manner
  • Place corpses into crematory machines to reduce remains to bone fragments using flame, heat, or alkaline hydrolysis
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.
