of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
19% 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 prognosis, treatment, response, and progress in patient's chart or enter information into computer
- Identify and document goals, anticipated progress, and plans for reevaluation
- Perform and document an initial exam, evaluating data to identify problems and determine a diagnosis prior to intervention
- Review physician's referral and patient's medical records to help determine diagnosis and physical therapy treatment required
- Provide educational information about physical therapy or physical therapists, injury prevention, ergonomics, or ways to promote health
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Instruct patient and family in treatment procedures to be continued at home
- Evaluate effects of treatment at various stages and adjust treatments to achieve maximum benefit
- Administer manual exercises, massage, or traction to help relieve pain, increase patient strength, or decrease or prevent deformity or crippling
- Test and measure patient's strength, motor development and function, sensory perception, functional capacity, or respiratory or circulatory efficiency and record data
- Direct, supervise, assess, and communicate with supportive personnel
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.
