EXPOSURE TO AI

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Certified irreplaceable. For now, gloriously human.
3% 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
- Read specifications or blueprints to determine the locations, quantities, or sizes of materials required
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Connect columns, beams, and girders with bolts, following blueprints and instructions from supervisors
- Bolt aligned structural steel members in position for permanent riveting, bolting, or welding into place
- Fasten structural steel members to hoist cables, using chains, cables, or rope
- Hoist steel beams, girders, or columns into place, using cranes or signaling hoisting equipment operators to lift and position structural steel members
- Verify vertical and horizontal alignment of structural steel members, using plumb bobs, laser equipment, transits, or levels
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.
