OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
Lightly singed at worst. Carry on.
32% 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
- Establish and communicate clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects to students
- Maintain accurate and complete student records as required by laws, district policies, or administrative regulations
- Attend professional meetings, educational conferences, or teacher training workshops to maintain or improve professional competence
- Administer standardized ability and achievement tests to elementary students with special needs
- Collaborate with other teachers or administrators to develop, evaluate, or revise elementary school programs
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Encourage students to explore learning opportunities or persevere with challenging tasks to prepare them for later grades
- Establish and enforce rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among students
- Guide or counsel students with adjustment problems, academic problems, or special academic interests
- Instruct and monitor students in the use and care of equipment or materials to prevent injuries and damage
- Instruct special needs students in academic subjects, using a variety of techniques, such as phonetics, multisensory learning, or repetition to reinforce learning and meet students' varying needs
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.
