As businesses across the economy rush to adopt AI, a new report from OpenAI’s competitor Anthropic reveals what the tech is really being used for: instead of helping augment human labor, companies are mainly using AI to automate their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In numbers, an overwhelming 77 percent of businesses using Anthropic’s Claude AI software showed signs of automation, like “full task delegation,” according to the <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> released by the company this week. Only 12 percent of AI usage appeared to leverage the tech in an augmentation role, like learning or asking the bot for feedback. The report was based on data from Anthropic’s application programming interface, or API, through which customers access the AI software.<\/span><\/p>\n

The findings are a stark reflection of businesses’ intentions by using AI, and add to the mounting anxiety<\/a> of how the tech could affect the economy. While many AI leaders have warned that AI will severely disrupt the job market, it’s often balanced by the sunny promise that it will work alongside human workers to make their jobs easier. But if over three-quarters of the companies in the report are using AI for outright automation, it portends much darker implications.<\/p>\n

That said, the report only concerns Anthropic’s Claude AI and may not necessarily be indicative of how other AI models, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, are being used. As one of the leaders in the industry, however, Anthropic’s data provides a useful barometer.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the plurality of what businesses are using AI for is coding at 44 percent, with office and administrative tasks a distant second at 10 percent. A proclivity towards full-blown automation appears to be business specific, with a comparatively smaller 50 percent of Claude usage from individuals showing automation of tasks.<\/p>\n

The report also found that users are entrusting AI with more autonomy, with the proportion of requests in which users delegate entire tasks to Claude jumping from 27 to 39 percent over eight months. Meanwhile, countries with high adoption rates tended to show less automation, and more augmentation.<\/p>\n

Among tech figureheads forecasting tough economic times ahead has been Anthropic’s own CEO Dario Amodei. This summer he predicted<\/a> that AI could wipe out 50 percent of entry-level white collar jobs. OpenAI’s Sam Altman echoed that AI will destroy entire categories<\/a> of human professions.<\/p>\n

As seriously as these warnings should be taken, they’re also classic Silicon Valley overpromises. Six months ago, for example, Amodei also predicted<\/a> that by now, AI would be writing 90 percent of all code. That’s nowhere close to being true.<\/p>\n

In reality, there\u00a0are still serious questions over the usefulness of AI tech and the quality of its work. Large language models still hallucinate false claims frequently, and the industry still has no idea how to make that issue go away. AI models also often ignore instructions and break their own guardrails, wreaking havoc like in the case of an AI “vibe coding” tool accidentally deleting a company’s key database<\/a>. More capable autonomous AI agents remain painfully slow and limited in what they can do. The tech that we’re all being told will transform society as we know it seemingly doesn’t have what it takes to even take orders at a drive-thru<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there\u00a0are also clear signs that AI is already having severe impacts on the job market<\/a>, even if it mostly seems to be making things sloppier and worse.<\/p>\n

AI-generated profiles and r\u00e9sum\u00e9s are drowning out authentic applicants who are often applying at job postings that are themselves AI-generated. Then if you make the cut, you might be <\/span>asked to interview with an AI system<\/span><\/a>\u00a0before you even get a sniff at trying to impress a human employee. <\/span>And those with a job aren’t much better off, as bosses are <\/span>openly gloating<\/span><\/a> about replacing their human grunts with AI agents. Then again, many of these business owners are scrambling to hire employees to <\/span>fix an AI’s broken messes<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>rehiring the workers<\/span><\/a> they just fired.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Bloomberg <\/em>asked<\/a> if the report supported Amodei’s prediction that AI will wipe out 50 percent of entry-level jobs, Anthropic’s head of external affairs refused to give a hard answer.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t know,” Sarah Heck told the newspaper. “This data shows something new is happening.”<\/p>\n
