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.

31% 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
  • Teach and explain the rules and regulations governing a specific sport
  • Report to regulating organizations regarding sporting activities, complaints made, and actions taken or needed, such as fines or other disciplinary actions
  • Compile scores and other athletic records
  • Verify scoring calculations before competition winners are announced
  • Verify credentials of participants in sporting events, and make other qualifying determinations, such as starting order or handicap number
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Officiate at sporting events, games, or competitions, to maintain standards of play and to ensure that game rules are observed
  • Inspect game sites for compliance with regulations or safety requirements
  • Resolve claims of rule infractions or complaints by participants and assess any necessary penalties, according to regulations
  • Signal participants or other officials to make them aware of infractions or to otherwise regulate play or competition
  • Inspect sporting equipment or examine participants to ensure compliance with event and safety regulations
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.
