Showing an unprecedented adoption speed, in the U.S., 40% of employees report using AI at work, up from 20% two years ago, as the recently released Anthropic Economic Index stated. This advancement reflects the ease of use of AI, by just typing or speaking without specialized training.
The study found that the shares of education and science usage are on the rise. While the use of Anthropic’s Claude.ai chatbot for coding continues to dominate at 36%, educational tasks have surged from 9.3% to 12.4%, and scientific tasks have increased from 6.3% to 7.2%.
Geographically, Singapore and Canada are among the countries with the highest usage per capita, while emerging economies, including Indonesia and India, use Claude less.
Lower-adoption countries tend to see more coding usage, while high-adoption regions show diverse applications across education, science, and business. For example, coding tasks are over half of all usage in India versus roughly a third of all usage globally.
“Rapidly advancing AI capabilities only reinforce the conclusion that immense change is on the horizon. And yet early AI adoption is strikingly uneven,” explains the Anthropic report.
“We are still in the early stages of this AI-driven economic transformation. The actions that policymakers, business leaders, and the public take now will shape the years to come.”
San Diego State University will soon offer its students an Artificial Intelligence and Human Responsibility major this year, the first of its kind in the CSU system.
