OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
0%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Lightly singed at worst. Carry on.
29% 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
- Advise patients about treatments and foot care techniques necessary for prevention of future problems
- Refer patients to physicians when symptoms indicative of systemic disorders, such as arthritis or diabetes, are observed in feet and legs
- Perform administrative duties, such as hiring employees, ordering supplies, or keeping records
- Educate the public about the benefits of foot care through techniques such as speaking engagements, advertising, and other forums
- Diagnose diseases and deformities of the foot using medical histories, physical examinations, x-rays, and laboratory test results
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Treat bone, muscle, and joint disorders affecting the feet and ankles
- Surgically treat conditions such as corns, calluses, ingrown nails, tumors, shortened tendons, bunions, cysts, or abscesses
- Make and fit prosthetic appliances
- Correct deformities by means of plaster casts and strapping
- Treat deformities using mechanical methods, such as whirlpool or paraffin baths, and electrical methods, such as short wave and low voltage currents
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.
