n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
The boring parts are leaving. The judgment stays.
37% 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
- Grade homework and tests, and compute and record results, using answer sheets or electronic marking devices
- Maintain computers in classrooms and laboratories, and assist students with hardware and software use
- Plan, prepare, and develop various teaching aids, such as bibliographies, charts, and graphs
- Prepare lesson outlines and plans in assigned subject areas and submit outlines to teachers for review
- Take class attendance and maintain attendance records
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Assist in bus loading and unloading
- Attend staff meetings and serve on committees, as required
- Clean classrooms
- Collect money from students for school-related projects
- Conduct demonstrations to teach skills, such as sports, dancing, and handicrafts
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.
"My job is 37% cooked. What’s yours?"
