Anthropic estimates robot feasibility across physical work
Anthropic published a task-level study estimating that current robots can technically perform 74% of physical tasks representing 34% of work hours, mostly in controlled settings, while only 0.3% of hours appear cost-competitive. Claude helped classify tasks and locate evidence.
Why it matters: Separating technical feasibility from economic viability produces a more useful automation signal than mapping occupations directly to model capability.
