OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
29%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Lightly singed at worst. Carry on.
33% 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
- Prepare reports on students and activities as required by administration
- Instruct through lectures, discussions, and demonstrations in one or more subjects, such as English, mathematics, or social studies
- Establish clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects, and communicate those objectives to students
- Adapt teaching methods and instructional materials to meet students' varying needs and interests
- Maintain accurate and complete student records as required by laws, district policies, and administrative regulations
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Prepare materials and classrooms for class activities
- Establish and enforce rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among students
- Confer with parents or guardians, other teachers, counselors, and administrators to resolve students' behavioral and academic problems
- Instruct and monitor students in the use of equipment and materials to prevent injuries and damage
- Enforce all administration policies and rules governing students
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.
