Will AI replace clinical neuropsychologists?
Not entirely. Parts of the job are likely to change as AI takes over routine tasks. Clinical Neuropsychologists score 44 out of 100 (elevated exposure), #349 of 923 US jobs. AI could speed up 15 of the job's 18 tasks, 1 of them on its own, while 3 see little or no speed-up. Exposure means the work is likely to change, not that the job will disappear.
Which clinical neuropsychologists tasks can AI do?
The most exposed tasks include "Write or prepare detailed clinical neuropsychological reports, using data from psychological or neuropsychological tests, self-report measures, rating scales, direct observations, or interviews".
Which clinical neuropsychologists tasks are hardest for AI?
Tasks with little or no AI speed-up include "Educate and supervise practicum students, psychology interns, or hospital staff"; "Provide education or counseling to individuals and families"; "Provide psychotherapy, behavior therapy, or other counseling interventions to patients with neurological disorders".
Are people already using AI for this work?
Yes. In April–May 2026, 2 of the 18 tasks showed up in real conversations with Claude, according to the Anthropic Economic Index.
How many people work as clinical neuropsychologists, and what do they earn?
About 18,820 people in the US (figure for Psychologists, All Other), with median pay of $110,840 a year (BLS, May 2025).
