of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
A co-pilot is coming for the busywork, not the wheel.
49% 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
- Check completed program logs for accuracy and conformance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations and resolve program log inaccuracies
- Develop ideas for programs and features that a station could produce
- Read news, read or record public service and promotional announcements, or perform other on-air duties
- Plan and schedule programming and event coverage, based on broadcast length, time availability, and other factors, such as community needs, ratings data, and viewer demographics
- Coordinate activities between departments, such as news and programming
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Confer with directors and production staff to discuss issues, such as production and casting problems, budgets, policies, and news coverage
- Operate and maintain on-air and production audio equipment
- Direct setup of remote facilities and install or cancel programs at remote stations
- Conduct interviews for broadcasts
- Cue announcers, actors, performers, and guests
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.
