of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
15% 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
- Document patient information, such as notes on their progress
- Perform clerical duties, such as taking inventory, ordering supplies, answering telephone, taking messages, or filling out forms
- Observe patients during treatments to compile and evaluate data on their responses and progress and provide results to physical therapist in person or through progress notes
- Monitor operation of equipment and record use of equipment and administration of treatment
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Instruct, motivate, safeguard, and assist patients as they practice exercises or functional activities
- Instruct patients in proper body mechanics and in ways to improve functional mobility, such as aquatic exercise
- Secure patients into or onto therapy equipment
- Administer active or passive manual therapeutic exercises, therapeutic massage, aquatic physical therapy, or heat, light, sound, or electrical modality treatments, such as ultrasound
- Transport patients to and from treatment areas, lifting and transferring them according to positioning requirements
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.
