of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The boring parts are leaving. The judgment stays.
41% 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. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Review existing electrical engineering criteria to identify necessary revisions, deletions, or amendments to outdated material
- Maintain system logs or manuals to document testing or operation of equipment
- Compile and maintain records documenting engineering schematics, installed equipment, installation or operational problems, resources used, repairs, or corrective action performed
- Integrate software or hardware components, using computer, microprocessor, or control architecture
- Interpret test information to resolve design-related problems
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning
- Replace defective components or parts, using hand tools and precision instruments
- Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems
- Identify and resolve equipment malfunctions, working with manufacturers or field representatives as necessary to procure replacement parts
- Assemble electrical systems or prototypes, using hand tools or measuring instruments
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.
