of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
16% 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. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Obtain information needed to complete legal documents, such as death certificates or burial permits
- Maintain financial records, order merchandise, or prepare accounts
- Contact cemeteries to schedule the opening and closing of graves
- Inform survivors of benefits for which they may be eligible
- Plan, schedule, or coordinate funerals, burials, or cremations, arranging details such as floral delivery or the time and place of services
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Consult with families or friends of the deceased to arrange funeral details, such as obituary notice wording, casket selection, or plans for services
- Perform embalming duties, as necessary
- Oversee the preparation and care of the remains of people who have died
- Remove deceased remains from place of death
- Arrange for clergy members to perform needed services
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.
