- Anthropic Report finds that only 4% of workers use AI for 75% of their duties
- Software engineers use AI more than other types of workers
- AI is best described as a technique that increases human capabilites
Although investments in AI continue to grow, only 4% of the acquired AI spends for 75% or more of their tasks, which emphasizes how far it is to go to the full limiting technology within our workflows, new reports have claimed.
It may not be strongly invoked, but lots of workers have tried AI, with more than a third (36%) of businesses containing the technology for at least 25% of their tasks.
The figures come from a paper published by Anthropics researchers analyzing over four million claude.ai conversations.
Not many workers use AI too much
More specifically, Anthropics researchers are breaking down exactly how AI tools are currently being used, revealing that almost two out of five (37%) AI users work in software technical roles.
Two out of five (43%) use cases were found to be for automation, but the researchers observed the remaining three-fifths (57%) of AI requests to increase human abilities or, in other words, increase efficiency. This finding challenges direct past concerns that AI can replace human workers, and is only one of a growing number of studies that support the pro-human argument for AI.
Using artificial intelligence is also more widespread in the middle of and high-paying jobs where many knowledge workers are located. Both wage extremes, such as manual and physical labor, and highly educated workers like doctors, used AI less.
A separate Microsoft study added that workers who are more confident of a task are among the most likely to apply critical thinking on Genai’s output, compared to workers who may be less familiar with the task, confirming AI’s power as a human Help and not a replacement.
However, we could be at the forefront of major change. The researchers concluded: “As AI systems are expanded beyond text to deal with video, speech and physical actions through robotics, and when AI agents become more able to perform extended tasks autonomously, the nature of human-ai- is Collaboration ready to transform dramatically. “
