Anthropic survey finds many Claude users expect AI to handle large chunks of work

The Decoder covered an Anthropic survey of about 9,700 Claude users, reporting that roughly half believe AI can already handle 50% or more of their work tasks.

The results should be read as a user survey rather than a labor-market forecast, but they capture how quickly expectations are shifting among people already using AI heavily. The same report notes that early-career workers express more worry about the transition.

For companies, the survey is another sign that AI adoption is becoming a workforce-planning issue, not just an IT tooling decision.
