of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Automate-adjacent. Keep the parts only you can sign off on.
52% 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 necessary documents to obtain planned project approvals or permits
- Develop computer models to address transportation planning issues
- Recommend transportation system improvements or projects, based on economic, population, land-use, or traffic projections
- Define regional or local transportation planning problems or priorities
- Design transportation surveys to identify areas of public concern
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Participate in public meetings or hearings to explain planning proposals, to gather feedback from those affected by projects, or to achieve consensus on project designs
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.
