of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
A co-pilot is coming for the busywork, not the wheel.
46% 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. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Process aerial or satellite imagery to create products such as land cover maps
- Design or implement strategies for collection, analysis, or display of geographic data
- Develop or build databases for remote sensing or related geospatial project information
- Collect supporting data, such as climatic or field survey data, to corroborate remote sensing data analyses
- Prepare or deliver reports or presentations of geospatial project information
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Discuss project goals, equipment requirements, or methodologies with colleagues or team members
- Participate in fieldwork
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.
"My job is 46% cooked. What’s yours?"
