Anthropic’s new research suggests people use AI for coding the most.

The company’s new “Economic Index” aims to show how AI is impacting the labor market over time. Its initial report shows questions in the “computer and mathematical” category made up 37.5 percent of all queries sent to its AI chatbot Claude. It also found that “in just over half of cases, AI was not being used to replace people doing tasks, but instead worked with them.”
