Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
4% 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
- Remove catches from fishing equipment and measure them to ensure compliance with legal size
- Compute positions and plot courses on charts to navigate vessels, using instruments such as compasses, sextants, and charts
- Oversee the purchase of supplies, gear, and equipment
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Patrol trap lines or nets to inspect settings, remove catch, and reset or relocate traps
- Obtain permission from landowners to hunt or trap on their land
- Travel on foot, by vehicle, or by equipment such as boats, snowmobiles, helicopters, snowshoes, or skis to reach hunting areas
- Steer vessels and operate navigational instruments
- Skin quarry, using knives, and stretch pelts on frames to be cured
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.
