of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
18% 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
- Perform various administrative tasks, such as typing documents or answering telephone calls
- Provide advice to mourners on how to make charitable donations in honor of the deceased
- Manage funeral home finances, including receiving payments, making bank deposits, or performing general bookkeeping duties
- Obtain burial permits and register deaths
- Obtain doctors' signatures on death certificate and complete other paperwork, such as insurance claims forms
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Greet people at the funeral home
- Transport the deceased to the funeral home
- Close caskets at appropriate point in services
- Offer assistance to mourners as they enter or exit limousines
- Place caskets in parlors or chapels prior to wakes or funerals
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.
