Alex Tamkin | Which Economic Tasks are Performed with AI? Evidence from Millions of Claude Conversations

Despite widespread speculation about artificial intelligence’s impact on the future of work, we lack systematic empirical evidence about how these systems are actually being used for different tasks. Here, we present a novel framework for measuring AI usage patterns across the economy. We leverage a recent privacy-preserving system [Tamkin et al., 2024] to analyze over four million Claude.ai conversations through the lens of tasks and occupations in the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET Database. Our analysis reveals that AI usage primarily concentrates in software development and writing tasks, which together account for nearly half of all total usage. However, usage of AI extends more broadly across the economy, with ∼ 36% of occupations using AI for at least a quarter of their associated tasks.

We also analyze how AI is being used for tasks, finding 57% of usage suggests augmentation of human capabilities (e.g., learning or iterating on an output) while 43% suggests automation (e.g., fulfilling a request with minimal human involvement). While our data and methods face important limitations and only paint a picture of AI usage on a single platform, they provide an automated, granular approach for tracking AI’s evolving role in the economy and identifying leading indicators of future impact as these technologies continue to advance.

Сегодня хочу поделиться приложением, которым я пользуюсь уже примерно 3 года, чтобы трекать время на рабочие проекты. Я много чего пробывала, но прижилось только оно. Сначала меня его заставляли использовать, чтобы трекать мои рабочие часы, чтобы их потом оплачивали. А потом я так привыкла, что трекую там вообще все.

Приложение (хотя я на самом деле использую веб сайт версию) - timeneye. Для личного пользования оно бесплатное, можно интегрировать даже в тимс и пригласить 2 коллабораторов. Единственное, что после 1 месяца подписки нужно будет аккуратно покликать и переключиться на бесплатную версию, в этом плане у них там не супер юзер-френдли отписка
