OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026

Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
The robots can help. They can’t replace the room you read.
24% 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
- Determine work assignments and procedures
- Complete production reports to communicate team production level to management
- Review work orders and blueprints to ensure work is performed according to specifications
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Perform quality checks on products and parts
- Rotate through all the tasks required in a particular production process
- Supervise assemblers and train employees on job procedures
- Shovel, sweep, or otherwise clean work areas
- Provide assistance in the production of wiring assemblies
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 24% cooked. What’s yours?"
