of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
16% 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. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Maintain controlled drug inventory and related log books
- Perform a variety of office, clerical, or accounting duties, such as reception, billing, bookkeeping, or selling products
- Take and develop diagnostic radiographs, using x-ray equipment
- Maintain laboratory, research, or treatment records, as well as inventories of pharmaceuticals, equipment, or supplies
- Schedule appointments and procedures for animals
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Administer anesthesia to animals, under the direction of a veterinarian, and monitor animals' responses to anesthetics so that dosages can be adjusted
- Care for and monitor the condition of animals recovering from surgery
- Prepare and administer medications, vaccines, serums, or treatments, as prescribed by veterinarians
- Restrain animals during exams or procedures
- Administer emergency first aid, such as performing emergency resuscitation or other life saving procedures
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.
