What work can robots do?

Summary

Anthropic researchers built a robot exposure index using Claude to rate how well present-day robots can perform US job tasks. They find robots can already do 74% of physical tasks, making up 34% of working hours, mostly in limited settings. Robots are cost-competitive for only 0.3% of tasks, and jobs more exposed to robots saw larger wage and employment declines over the past 50 years.
