Anthropic Index Shows Rapid but Uneven AI Uptake as Enterprises Embrace Automation

Fresh usage data show adoption clustered in wealthy tech hubs, underscoring risks of a widening digital divide.

Overview

  • Anthropic reports 77% of enterprise Claude API activity reflects full task automation, with only 12% oriented toward collaborative use.
  • New AI Usage Index maps Claude activity across 150+ countries and all U.S. states, linking higher per-capita use to national income levels.
  • Singapore and Canada post the highest relative usage, while India and Nigeria lag far behind; Washington, D.C., and Utah lead within the U.S.
  • Platform profiles diverge: computer and math tasks make up 36% of Claude usage versus under 8% for ChatGPT, which skews toward information-seeking and teaching/writing.
  • Anthropic has open-sourced the underlying dataset for researchers, as the report cites Gallup data showing U.S. workplace AI use doubling to 40% since 2023.
