OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
Mostly fireproof. AI hands you the paperwork and steps back.
23% 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. Mostly safe. AI helps around the edges, but the job stays human.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Enter data from analysis of medical tests or clinical results into computer for storage
- Establish or monitor quality assurance programs or activities to ensure the accuracy of laboratory results
- Provide technical information about test results to physicians, family members, or researchers
- Develop, standardize, evaluate, or modify procedures, techniques, or tests used in the analysis of specimens or in medical laboratory experiments
- Analyze laboratory findings to check the accuracy of the results
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Conduct chemical analysis of body fluids, including blood, urine, or spinal fluid, to determine presence of normal or abnormal components
- Operate, calibrate, or maintain equipment used in quantitative or qualitative analysis, such as spectrophotometers, calorimeters, flame photometers, or computer-controlled analyzers
- Collect and study blood samples to determine the number of cells, their morphology, or their blood group, blood type, or compatibility for transfusion purposes, using microscopic techniques
- Analyze samples of biological material for chemical content or reaction
- Set up, clean, and maintain laboratory equipment
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.
