Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
10% 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
- Complete, review, or maintain production, time, or component waste reports
- Read and interpret schematic drawings, diagrams, blueprints, specifications, work orders, or reports to determine materials requirements or assembly instructions
- Inspect or test wiring installations, assemblies, or circuits for resistance factors or for operation, and record results
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Assemble electrical or electronic systems or support structures and install components, units, subassemblies, wiring, or assembly casings, using rivets, bolts, soldering or micro-welding equipment
- Adjust, repair, or replace electrical or electronic components to correct defects and to ensure conformance to specifications
- Position, align, or adjust workpieces or electrical parts to facilitate wiring or assembly
- Explain assembly procedures or techniques to other workers
- Clean parts, using cleaning solutions, air hoses, and cloths
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.
