of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
18% 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
- Record treatment given and equipment used
- Perform clerical duties, such as taking inventory, ordering supplies, answering telephone, taking messages, or filling out forms
- Schedule patient appointments with physical therapists and coordinate therapists' schedules
- Observe patients during treatment to compile and evaluate data on patients' responses and progress and report to physical therapist
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Clean and organize work area and disinfect equipment after treatment
- Instruct, motivate, safeguard, or assist patients practicing exercises or functional activities, under direction of medical staff
- Administer active or passive manual therapeutic exercises, therapeutic massage, or heat, light, sound, water, or electrical modality treatments, such as ultrasound
- Transport patients to and from treatment areas, using wheelchairs or providing standing support
- Change linens, such as bed sheets and pillow cases
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.
