Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Economic Index — a tool that tracks the impact of AI on the economy. Unlike forecasts, the index analyzes real data: over a million anonymized dialogues with Claude, showing which tasks are already being delegated to AI.
Key findings:
- AI is more frequently used for coding (37.2% of requests), text editing (10.3%), and data analysis.
- Automation vs. Augmentation: 43% of tasks are fully performed by AI, but in 57% of cases, AI assists humans, complementing their work.
- Who uses AI? Most often, specialists with medium and high incomes — programmers, analysts, editors. Workers with low and extremely high salaries use AI less frequently.
- Open data: Anthropic has made the dataset publicly available, inviting economists and researchers to collaborate.
The data from the index could serve as a foundation for new AI products and help understand which professions AI is currently transforming.
