So Anthropic, the leading AI lab behind Claude has just released the next edition of

their Economic Index report. They have analysed millions of real conversations with Claude

to map exactly where AI is augmenting human work today and where it isn't.

I'm with Peter McCrory, who is the head of

economics at Anthropic, and he's the one who led this research. I think it's a best empirical

window we have into how AI could be sharing, shaping work right now. So Peter, thank you so much

for breaking away from your computer and joining us today. It's a privilege to be here and so glad to be able to share this work with the world and

all the underlying data, which I mean, I'll talk about, but everything that we do is based

on open source data. So we hope that others will join us in making sense of what's on the horizon.

You know, that is such an important point because in this moment of the

investment boom and the prospect of artificial intelligence really changing the way we live,

the quality of data I found has been really, really poor. It's sort of scuttlebutt and, you know,

survey a few mates and slap a logo on it and change the way the market thinks. So when you get data from, you know, survey a few mates and slap a logo on it and change the way the market thinks.

So when you get data from, you know, Anthropic or Epoch or others, it's really good to be

able to hold on to it. Your data shows something quite striking, which is two completely

different use patterns emerging at the same time.

So if you're using Claude, you can do it like most of us do through the chat interface,

you know, tippity tapty, tippity, Claude goes away and thinks and comes back with an answer.

Or you can use it through the API, which is a programming interface,

which means that perhaps you're accessing it through another piece of software is a programming interface, which means that perhaps

you're accessing it through another piece of software, maybe one that you have written, or more

likely your IT department has written.
