"Anthropic's latest Economic Index report published on Monday found 77% of businesses using the company's Claude AI software are doing so for automation purposes like "full task delegation," while just 12% are using the tech for collaborative purposes such as learning. Anthropic used data selected from one million application programming interface transcripts from mostly businesses and software developers for its report."
"The proliferation of task automation-most heavily used for coding tasks, as well as writing and educational instruction-is likely a result of both AI bots getting better at completing tasks, as well as users getting more comfortable with the technology, according to Peter McCrory, head of economics at Anthropic. For businesses integrating AI into their workplace, automation may help drive efficiency."
Seventy-seven percent of businesses using Claude AI employ it primarily for automation, while 12% use it for collaboration and learning. The dataset spans one million API transcripts from businesses and software developers. Automation use is most concentrated in coding, writing, and educational instruction. Improved AI capabilities and growing user comfort are enabling more full-task delegation. Businesses are integrating AI to increase efficiency and build embedded productivity infrastructure. Evidence links increased automation to labor-market effects, including a reported 13% relative employment decline among early-career workers in the most AI-exposed jobs. Entry-level employment faces potential declines in both quantity and quality.
