OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
10%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Lightly singed at worst. Carry on.
31% 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. Mostly safe. AI helps around the edges, but the job stays human.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Prepare reports on students and activities as required by administration
- Read books to entire classes or small groups
- Adapt teaching methods and instructional materials to meet students' varying needs and interests
- Establish clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects and communicate those objectives to students
- Observe and evaluate students' performance, behavior, social development, and physical health
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Establish and enforce rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among the students
- Confer with parents or guardians, teachers, counselors, and administrators to resolve students' behavioral and academic problems
- Prepare materials and classrooms for class activities
- Provide a variety of materials and resources for children to explore, manipulate, and use, both in learning activities and in imaginative play
- Enforce administration policies and rules governing students
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.
