OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
20%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Automate-adjacent. Keep the parts only you can sign off on.
59% 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. Heavily exposed. Most of the tasks are within reach of today’s AI.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Develop and implement purchasing and contract management instructions, policies, and procedures
- Review purchase order claims and contracts for conformance to company policy
- Administer online purchasing systems
- Maintain records of goods ordered and received
- Represent companies in negotiating contracts and formulating policies with suppliers
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Interview and hire staff, and oversee staff training
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.
