EXPOSURE TO AI

OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
5%
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.

36% 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
  • Record patients' medical history, vital statistics, or information such as test results in medical records
  • Perform general office duties, such as answering telephones, taking dictation, or completing insurance forms
  • Authorize drug refills and provide prescription information to pharmacies
  • Keep financial records or perform other bookkeeping duties, such as handling credit or collections or mailing monthly statements to patients
  • Schedule appointments for patients
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Clean and sterilize instruments and dispose of contaminated supplies
  • Prepare treatment rooms for patient examinations, keeping the rooms neat and clean
  • Collect blood, tissue, or other laboratory specimens, log the specimens, and prepare them for testing
  • Show patients to examination rooms and prepare them for the physician
  • Help physicians examine and treat patients, handing them instruments or materials or performing such tasks as giving injections or removing sutures
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.
