OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The robots can help. They can’t replace the room you read.
28% 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
- Maintain records, reports, or files as required, including such information as radiation dosages, equipment settings, or patients' reactions
- Enter data into computer and set controls to operate or adjust equipment or regulate dosage
- Help physicians, radiation oncologists, or clinical physicists to prepare physical or technical aspects of radiation treatment plans, using information about patient condition and anatomy
- Act as liaison with physicist and supportive care personnel
- Schedule patients for treatment times
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Position patients for treatment with accuracy, according to prescription
- Administer prescribed doses of radiation to specific body parts, using radiation therapy equipment according to established practices and standards
- Follow principles of radiation protection for patient, self, and others
- Conduct most treatment sessions independently, in accordance with the long-term treatment plan and under the general direction of the patient's physician
- Check radiation therapy equipment to ensure proper operation
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.
