Can we predict the jobs robots will do? \ Anthropic

What work can robots do? Anthropic's robot exposure index finds robots can do 3/4 of US physical job tasks, but are cost-competitive for only 0.3%.

Key findings We present a robot exposure index based on how well robots can perform job tasks today. Robots, which we define as autonomous physical machines that sense and act, can perform three-quarters of physical tasks in the US, making up 34% of working hours, but mostly in limited settings. Workers exposed to robots are more likely to be male, less educated, and lower paid. For example, driving and warehouse jobs are highly exposed to currently available robots; nursing and general repair jobs are not, since present-day robots can do little of their work even in highly controlled…
