OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
4%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The machines are eyeing your desk.
53% 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. Heavily exposed. Most of the tasks are within reach of today’s AI.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Complete production reports, purchase orders, and material, tool, and equipment lists
- Estimate production costs, cost saving methods, and the effects of product design changes on expenditures for management review, action, and control
- Plan and establish sequence of operations to fabricate and assemble parts or products and to promote efficient utilization
- Analyze statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives of finished product
- Communicate with management and user personnel to develop production and design standards
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Almost nothing here is clearly out of reach. That’s the warning in this one.
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.
"My job is 53% cooked. What’s yours?"
