Anthropic Index Finds Enterprise AI Skewing Toward Automation, Intensifying Jobs Policy Debate

The company’s new data has put Washington on the spot over how to cushion workers from automation.

Overview

  • Anthropic reports that about 77% of Claude enterprise/API traffic reflects full-task delegation, a far higher automation rate than on its consumer site.
  • Business use is dominated by coding, with office and administrative tasks next, as directive handoffs rose to 39% from 27% over eight months.
  • Adoption is rapidly growing yet uneven, with high-income hubs such as Israel and Singapore over-indexing and Washington, D.C. and Utah leading U.S. per-capita usage.
  • The findings are sharpening proposals in Washington, including taxes or a tech-funded trust to support displaced workers and calls for a federal workforce agency.
  • Separate reporting says White House officials are frustrated by Anthropic’s prohibition on domestic-surveillance applications, complicating some federal law-enforcement projects.
