OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
0%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Lightly singed at worst. Carry on.
33% 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
- Review contents of written orders to ensure adherence to legal requirements
- Prepare news releases and respond to police correspondence
- Supervise and coordinate the investigation of criminal cases, offering guidance and expertise to investigators, and ensuring that procedures are conducted in accordance with laws and regulations
- Inform personnel of changes in regulations and policies, implications of new or amended laws, and new techniques of police work
- Maintain logs, prepare reports, and direct the preparation, handling, and maintenance of departmental records
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Explain police operations to subordinates to assist them in performing their job duties
- Train staff in proper police work procedures
- Cooperate with court personnel and officials from other law enforcement agencies and testify in court, as necessary
- Conduct raids and order detention of witnesses and suspects for questioning
- Discipline staff for violation of department rules and regulations
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.
