Ever wonder how people across the world are actually using Claude?
Anthropic just dropped a super interesting report showing where, how, and why different groups are tapping into AI, and it says a lot about where we're headed.
Here are the highlights:
- Big differences in Claude usage across countries and US states.
- Richer countries (and states) use Claude more per worker.
- High-income areas lean toward collaboration with Claude over straight-up automation.
- In lower-income areas, Claude is being used more for task automation.
- Businesses using the Claude API automate way more than individual users.
- Over 9 months, directive automation jumped from 27% to 39% overall.
- Use is expanding beyond coding into education, scientific research, and admin tasks.
Are you seeing AI used more for automation or collaboration in your work?
For me, I'd say it's pretty 50/50.
