Introducing the Anthropic Economic Index \ Anthropic
February 13, 2025
In the coming years, AI systems will have a major impact on the ways people work. For that reason, we’re launching the Anthropic Economic Index, an initiative aimed at understanding AI’s effects on labor markets and the economy over time.
The Index’s initial report provides first-of-its-kind data and analysis based on millions of anonymized conversations on Claude.ai, revealing the clearest picture yet of how AI is being incorporated into real-world tasks across the modern economy.

Important and interesting research from Anthropic, the developers of Claude, on how their models are being used. The data is open sourced for others to analyse.
Perhaps no big surprise that by far the most common use of their models is for ‘computers and mathematics’. Perhaps a little more surprising is
AI use leans more toward augmentation (57%), where AI collaborates with and enhances human capabilities, compared to automation (43%), where AI directly performs tasks.
at least since so much of the concern about AI has been the replacement of human labour.
