Big news from Anthropic this week: They released the first-ever comprehensive map of AI usage across every US state and globally, based on millions of real Claude conversations. (can read more here) This isn't theory—this is hard data on where and how people are actually using AI. What they discovered: 🎯 Geography matters BIG time - Israel leads per capita AI usage (7x higher than expected based on population) - In the US: Colorado focuses on travel/event planning, Washington DC on document editing and career advice - Small, tech-savvy countries dominate adoption rates 💻 Software development still rules - 37.2% of all AI queries are computer/coding related - But creative tasks (writing, editing, marketing) make up 10.3% - Mid-to-high salary jobs ($50K-$150K) use AI most—not the highest or lowest paid 🤝 People prefer collaboration over automation - Countries with higher AI adoption use it more for "augmentation" (working WITH AI) - Lower adoption areas lean toward "automation" (having AI do tasks completely) - This suggests mature AI users see it as a co-pilot, not a replacement Why this matters for YOUR business: 📊 You're not behind—adoption is still concentrated in specific regions and tasks 🎯 Focus on collaboration rather than trying to automate everything 💡 Your industry patterns matter—different regions use AI differently based on their economic focus The big takeaway: AI adoption follows the same pattern as previous transformative technologies—it starts concentrated in specific places and tasks, then spreads outward. Your reality check: Are you using AI as a collaborative tool to enhance your work, or are you trying to have it replace what you do entirely? What do you think? Does your AI usage pattern match what they found in your industry? Drop your experience below! 👇

Big news from OpenAI this week → they’ve released the largest study ever on how people are actually using ChatGPT. And the results are fascinating. Here are a few highlights worth knowing: ✅ Usage is going mainstream. The gender gap in adoption has basically closed, and ChatGPT is spreading fastest in low- and middle-income countries (growing 4x faster there than in wealthy countries). ✅ Everyday tasks dominate. Three out of four conversations are about practical stuff—like writing, planning, or getting quick answers. Interestingly, the biggest bucket is people simply “Asking” for guidance, showing that people see ChatGPT as an advisor, not just a task bot. ✅ Real economic impact. About 30% of use is work-related, 70% is personal. Both sides are creating real value—boosting productivity in jobs and improving decision-making and creativity in daily life. This is the most comprehensive analysis of consumer AI use we’ve ever seen (based on 1.5 million conversations). And the headline is clear: AI isn’t just for techies anymore—it’s becoming a daily tool for everyone. We’ll be talking more about this at the AI Advantage Summit, because these trends shape exactly why this moment matters. Access to AI isn’t just a luxury—it’s quickly becoming a baseline for success in work and life. The future is here, and it’s in your hands.
