EXPOSURE TO AI

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
11% 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
- Record and report time, materials, faults, deficiencies, or other unusual occurrences on work orders
- Keep records of repairs and replacements made and causes of malfunctions
- Schedule work with customers and initiate work orders, house requisitions, and orders from stock
- Study blueprints, design specifications, or manufacturers' recommendations to ascertain the configuration of heating or cooling equipment components and to ensure the proper installation of components
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Test electrical circuits or components for continuity, using electrical test equipment
- Connect heating or air conditioning equipment to fuel, water, or refrigerant source to form complete circuit
- Adjust system controls to settings recommended by manufacturer to balance system
- Inspect and test systems to verify system compliance with plans and specifications or to detect and locate malfunctions
- Repair or replace defective equipment, components, or wiring
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.
