Workers most concerned about AI-driven job displacement are those in roles where Anthropic has observed Claude doing the most work, according to a new survey study by the AI startup published on Wednesday, April 22.
The survey, based on responses from over 81,000 Claude users, found that about one-fifth of respondents expressed concern about economic displacement, with workers in highly exposed roles such as software engineers more worried about losing their jobs to AI than, for instance, elementary school teachers.
This finding is consistent with the fact that Claude usage skews toward coding tasks, Anthropic said. The survey study is focused on understanding the economic impact of AI by looking primarily at “what work Claude is being asked to do, and in which jobs Claude is doing the largest share of tasks.”
Notably, it provides early evidence that observed exposure is correlated with economic concern around AI. It is a combined analysis of responses from 81,000 Claude users as well as Anthropic’s internal understanding of Claude traffic.
