Original: Anthropic says robots can do 74% of US physical work, but are cheaper than people for 0.3%
Anthropic says robots are technically capable of performing 74% of physical work tasks in the United States, but are currently cheaper than human workers for only 0.3% of them. The gap between technical feasibility and economic viability highlights how far robotics remains from displacing most manual labor, with costs, not capability, the main barrier to adoption.
Why now: The striking gap between what robots can technically do and what is economically viable is fueling debate about automation's real impact on jobs.
