AI mainly automates work instead of improving it, which leads the technology as a catalyst for replacing jobs, according to a new study.
AI Startup Anthropic, which was valued earlier this month at $ 183 billion, brought one New report Show on Monday that more than three in four (77%) of the companies that Claude used did this to automate tasks. For comparison: only 12% of companies used Claude to increase or improve the work.
“The 77% automation percentage suggests that Enterprises use Claude to delegate tasks, rather than as a cooperation instrument,” the report said. “Given clear automation patterns in the company deployment, this can also cause disruption to the labor markets, which means that those employees whose roles are likely to be confronted with automation.”

The report showed that companies so far mainly use Claude to write code and perform administrative tasks. Claude can generate code, similar to other tools such as Replicate And CursorThose code blocks make from text prompts. The tools are even powerful enough to take over possibly coding for software. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted during a Council on Foreign Relations event in March that AI would write every code for software providers within a year.
“In 12 months we can be in a world where AI essentially writes all the code,” Amodei said during the event.

In addition, anthropic emphasized in the report that AI runs the risk of causing mass dismissals and relocation of employees as a result of automation. Amodei weighed this issue earlier this year and predicted in May that AI could wipe out half of all entry level, white jobs in the coming five years, so that unemployment reached 10% to 20%. AI could influence the work at entry level in areas such as law, technology and finance, Amodei explained.

Anthropic’s Head of Economics, Peter McCrory, said Bloomberg That the researchers were not sure whether the dependence on automation in the report was due to “new model options” so that AI could take on more tasks, or because “people are more comfortable” with AI and “more willing to delegate certain tasks to Claude.”
In other words, the researchers were uncertain or high degree of automation was due to the increased possibilities of AI or more people who were willing to use the technology.
Insight into the reason presents ‘an important research area for the future’, McCrory told The Outlet.
