EXPOSURE TO AI
36%
MODERATE
OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
Half in the fire, half out. Choose which half you become.

36% 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
  • Take class attendance and maintain attendance records
  • Answer students' questions
  • Distribute or collect tests or homework assignments
  • Follow lesson plans designed by absent teachers
  • Operate equipment such as computers or audio-visual aids to supplement presentations
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Assist students with boarding or exiting school buses
  • Counsel students with adjustment or academic problems
  • Distribute teaching materials, such as textbooks, workbooks, papers, and pencils, to students
  • Enforce school and class rules to maintain order in the classroom
  • Organize and supervise games or other recreational activities
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.
