OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
9%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Still standing — but the ground is warm.
50% 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. Heavily exposed. Most of the tasks are within reach of today’s AI.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Prepare actors for auditions by providing scripts and information about roles and casting requirements
- Contact agents and actors to provide notification of audition and performance opportunities and to set up audition times
- Serve as liaisons between directors, actors, and agents
- Arrange for or design screen tests or auditions for prospective performers
- Maintain talent files that include information such as performers' specialties, past performances, and availability
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Direct shows, productions, and plays
- Teach acting classes
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.
