OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
0%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The robots can help. They can’t replace the room you read.
25% 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
- Prepare reports documenting investigation activities and results
- Plan or implement special safety or preventive programs, such as fire or accident prevention
- Investigate or direct investigations of freight theft, suspicious damage or loss of passengers' valuables, or other crimes on railroad property
- Examine credentials of unauthorized persons attempting to enter secured areas
- Record and verify seal numbers from boxcars containing frequently pilfered items, such as cigarettes or liquor, to detect tampering
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Enforce traffic laws regarding the transit system and reprimand individuals who violate them
- Provide training to the public or law enforcement personnel in railroad safety or security
- Monitor transit areas and conduct security checks to protect railroad properties, patrons, and employees
- Apprehend or remove trespassers or thieves from railroad property or coordinate with law enforcement agencies in apprehensions and removals
- Direct security activities at derailments, fires, floods, or strikes involving railroad property
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.
