OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
4%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Mostly fireproof. AI hands you the paperwork and steps back.
34% 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
- Submit reports to physicians summarizing test results
- Summarize technical data to assist physicians to diagnose brain, sleep, or nervous system disorders
- Participate in research projects, conferences, or technical meetings
- Indicate artifacts or interferences derived from sources outside of the brain, such as poor electrode contact or patient movement, on electroneurodiagnostic recordings
- Monitor patients during tests or surgeries, using electroencephalographs (EEG), evoked potential (EP) instruments, or video recording equipment
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Set up, program, or record montages or electrical combinations when testing peripheral nerve, spinal cord, subcortical, or cortical responses
- Attach electrodes to patients, using adhesives
- Measure patients' body parts and mark locations where electrodes are to be placed
- Calibrate, troubleshoot, or repair equipment and correct malfunctions, as needed
- Adjust equipment to optimize viewing of the nervous system
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.
