of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The boring parts are leaving. The judgment stays.

49% 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
  • Communicate research or project results to other professionals or the public or teach related courses, seminars, or workshops
  • Develop methods of conserving or managing soil that can be applied by farmers or forestry companies
  • Provide information or recommendations to farmers or other landowners regarding ways in which they can best use land, promote plant growth, or avoid or correct problems such as erosion
  • Conduct experiments to develop new or improved varieties of field crops, focusing on characteristics such as yield, quality, disease resistance, nutritional value, or adaptation to specific soils or climates
  • Investigate soil problems or poor water quality to determine sources and effects
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Conduct experiments regarding causes of bee diseases or factors affecting yields of nectar or pollen
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.
