OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
Lightly singed at worst. Carry on.
25% 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
- Prepare and maintain all required treatment records and reports
- Fill out and maintain client-related paperwork, including federal- and state-mandated forms, client diagnostic records, and progress notes
- Develop and implement treatment plans based on clinical experience and knowledge
- Collect information about clients through interviews, observation, or tests
- Collaborate with mental health professionals and other staff members to perform clinical assessments or develop treatment plans
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Encourage clients to express their feelings and discuss what is happening in their lives, helping them to develop insight into themselves or their relationships
- Assess patients for risk of suicide attempts
- Counsel clients or patients, individually or in group sessions, to assist in overcoming dependencies, adjusting to life, or making changes
- Guide clients in the development of skills or strategies for dealing with their problems
- Perform crisis interventions to help ensure the safety of the patients and others
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.
