New Index Tracks AI Integration in Real-World Tasks

A new economic index leverages data from anonymized AI conversations to analyze how AI is being used in practice. The findings indicate that AI is primarily used in software development and technical writing, with a focus on augmenting human skills rather than replacing them. The tool is more commonly used in mid-to-high wage jobs. The index provides open data and aims to promote discussion about the evolving labor market.

The Anthropic Economic Index

The Anthropic Economic Index provides novel data and analysis on how AI is integrated into real-world tasks, using anonymized conversations from Claude.ai. It reveals that AI usage is concentrated in software development and technical writing, with a lean towards augmenting human capabilities (57%) rather than automation (43%). AI is more prevalent in mid-to-high wage occupations, with limited use in both the lowest- and highest-paid roles. The index offers open data and invites input from economists and policy experts to address the coming transformation in the labor market.
