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.

11% 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 work orders to determine production specifications and information
  • Record data from operations, testing, and production on specified forms
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Observe operation of equipment to ensure continuity of flow, safety, and efficient operation, and to detect malfunctions
  • Examine materials, ingredients, or products, visually or with hands, to ensure conformance to established standards
  • Move controls to start, stop, or adjust machinery and equipment that crushes, grinds, polishes, or blends materials
  • Clean, adjust, and maintain equipment, using hand tools
  • Weigh or measure materials, ingredients, or products at specified intervals to ensure conformance to requirements
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.
