How is AI actually being used in the workplace today? In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking research from Handa et al. (Anthropic), which analyzed over four million conversations on Claude.ai to map AI’s role in different economic tasks. The study reveals that AI is most commonly applied in software development and writing, spanning about 36% of occupations for at least a quarter of their tasks. We explore the nuances of augmentation versus automation, AI’s impact on wages and job accessibility, and what this means for the future of work. Join us for an in-depth discussion on how AI is reshaping jobs—not replacing them outright—and what the data tells us about where we’re headed next.
