ME News message, April 23 (UTC+8), according to “Dongcha Beating” monitoring, Anthropic released a survey analysis based on 81,000 Claude users, comparing users’ economic perceptions with the previously released Economic Index usage data. The survey found that the higher the share of tasks actually carried out by Claude in a role, the stronger the practitioners’ concerns about AI replacing their own jobs. The proportion of those in the top 25% of AI exposure who expressed concern was 3 times that of those in the bottom 25%. Respondents in the early stages of their careers also showed noticeably higher levels of concern than experienced practitioners. The average productivity score reported by respondents was 5.1 (out of 7, corresponding to “significantly improving”), and the most common form of benefit was an expansion of capabilities (mentioned by 48% of respondents), followed by improved speed (40%). Both the highest-paid and lowest-paid roles reported the greatest productivity gains; among lower-income roles, many people use AI for technical side hustles unrelated to their main jobs—for example, delivery drivers using Claude to run e-commerce stores, and gardeners using it to develop music applications. The survey also found a contradiction: users who reported the largest acceleration from AI were also the group with the highest concern about threats to their jobs. Anthropic believes this has economic logic—if the time required to complete tasks is dramatically shortened, the job’s future indeed faces more uncertainty. In addition, only 60% of early-career workers believed that the benefits of AI flow to them, compared with 80% among senior practitioners. Anthropic noted that the survey sample consisted of users who actively used their personal Claude accounts and were willing to respond to the questionnaire, who may be more inclined to report positive effects, so the conclusions need to be verified through subsequent structured surveys.
