Anthropic published recently a study that analyzes over four million Claude.ai conversations using a privacy-preserving system to map AI usage across occupations based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET Database. Findings reveal that AI is predominantly used in software development and writing tasks, which account for nearly half of total usage. However, AI adoption spans diverse fields, with around 36% of occupations integrating AI into at least a quarter of their tasks. The study also distinguishes between AI-driven augmentation (57%) and automation (43%), offering a systematic approach to tracking AI’s evolving role in the workforce.
