The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
17% 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
- Assess patients' medical histories to predict anesthesia response
- Develop anesthesia care plans
- Perform or evaluate the results of diagnostic tests, such as radiographs (x-rays) and electrocardiograms (EKGs)
- Read current literature, talk with colleagues, and participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in nursing
- Perform pre-anesthetic screenings, including physical evaluations and patient interviews, and document results
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Manage patients' airway or pulmonary status, using techniques such as endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, pharmacological support, respiratory therapy, and extubation
- Respond to emergency situations by providing airway management, administering emergency fluids or drugs, or using basic or advanced cardiac life support techniques
- Monitor patients' responses, including skin color, pupil dilation, pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, ventilation, or urine output, using invasive and noninvasive techniques
- Select, order, or administer anesthetics, adjuvant drugs, accessory drugs, fluids or blood products as necessary
- Select, prepare, or use equipment, monitors, supplies, or drugs for the administration of anesthetics
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.
