of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The boring parts are leaving. The judgment stays.
40% 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. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Write, prepare, and deliver statements for the Congressional Record
- Confer with colleagues to formulate positions and strategies pertaining to pending issues
- Develop expertise in subject matters related to committee assignments
- Keep abreast of the issues affecting constituents by making personal visits and phone calls, reading local newspapers, and viewing or listening to local broadcasts
- Maintain knowledge of relevant national and international current events
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Appoint nominees to leadership posts, or approve such appointments
- Represent their government at local, national, and international meetings and conferences
- Speak to students to encourage and support the development of future political leaders
- Debate the merits of proposals and bill amendments during floor sessions, following the appropriate rules of procedure
- Hear testimony from constituents, representatives of interest groups, board and commission members, and others with an interest in bills or issues under consideration
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.
