Theoretical estimate vs observed usage
One card (GPTs are GPTs) estimates what AI could theoretically do at the time it was scored; the other (Anthropic Economic Index) observes how AI was actually used. They measure different things, so the two figures cannot be added, averaged, or ranked against each other. The older figure is kept here as a baseline for comparison rather than removed.
Caution: the Anthropic figures — observed exposure and task penetration — take the Eloundou β as one of their inputs. The two sides resembling each other is therefore not evidence that the earlier prediction came true; reading it that way is circular reasoning.
The Anthropic figures are measured on Claude users, who are not the whole economy and not the whole workforce.
The mapping of O*NET tasks and occupation codes was performed by AI Changing Work. The source figures themselves were not modified.
These indices are not forecasts. Which point in time each one belongs to is stated on the badge on its card.
Task Breakdown
- Deliver scripted announcements and read prepared content
- Provide live impromptu commentary during events
- Coordinate timing with event staff and production teams
About This Occupation
If you work as a Public Address Announcer, AI is creating a mixed impact on your role. With an automation risk of 51/100 and overall exposure at 58%, this role faces high transformation. Scripted announcements face 70% automation through text-to-speech, but live impromptu commentary remains at just 22%. BLS projects -7% decline through 2034.

Frequently Asked Questions
They come from two published datasets: the Anthropic Economic Index (labor_market_impacts, CC BY 4.0) and the OpenAI "GPTs are GPTs" exposure rubric (MIT License, Copyright (c) 2024 OpenAI). AI Changing Work maps them onto O*NET occupation and task codes and does not calculate exposure scores of its own. AI Changing Work uses Anthropic Economic Index data under CC-BY; Anthropic does not endorse or sponsor this site or its analyses.
No. They are a diagnosis of exposure as measured at the time each source dataset was published. AI Changing Work publishes no prediction of future automation or job displacement for this occupation.
