of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
A co-pilot is coming for the busywork, not the wheel.

45% 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. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.

WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
  • Disseminate information by writing reports and scientific papers or journal articles, and by making presentations and giving talks for schools, clubs, interest groups and park interpretive programs
  • Make recommendations on management systems and planning for wildlife populations and habitat, consulting with stakeholders and the public at large to explore options
  • Inventory or estimate plant and wildlife populations
  • Check for, and ensure compliance with, environmental laws, and notify law enforcement when violations are identified
  • Study animals in their natural habitats, assessing effects of environment and industry on animals, interpreting findings and recommending alternative operating conditions for industry
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
  • Organize and conduct experimental studies with live animals in controlled or natural surroundings
  • Prepare collections of preserved specimens or microscopic slides for species identification and study of development or disease
  • Raise specimens for study and observation or for use in experiments
  • Collect and dissect animal specimens and examine specimens under microscope
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.
