EXPOSURE TO AI

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
17% 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. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Prepare documents, such as invoices or warranties
- Provide customers with cost estimates for equipment installation
- Keep informed of new products and developments
- Inspect installation sites and study work orders, building plans, and installation manuals to determine materials requirements and installation procedures
- Order replacement parts
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Install, maintain, or repair security systems, alarm devices, or related equipment, following blueprints of electrical layouts and building plans
- Mount and fasten control panels, door and window contacts, sensors, or video cameras, and attach electrical and telephone wiring to connect components
- Test and repair circuits and sensors, following wiring and system specifications
- Feed cables through access holes, roof spaces, or cavity walls to reach fixture outlets, positioning and terminating cables, wires, or strapping
- Examine systems to locate problems, such as loose connections or broken insulation
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.
