Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Anthropic’s Head of Economics on AI adoption data, Claude Code, the burden of knowledge & the next generation of experts

And I mean, maybe to your point, that's

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

where it might be more straightforward for businesses to figure out how to automate that specific workflow.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

In our data in this report, we actually saw a jump in office and administrative usage as a total share of our API traffic, suggesting that businesses are broadening out beyond just coding related tasks in how they choose to sort of deploy the tool into these like back office administrative support

tasks.

It's not obvious.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Anthropic’s Head of Economics on AI adoption data, Claude Code, the burden of knowledge & the next generation of experts

I don't think that this means that your job will become sort of less meaningful or more meaningful.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Anthropic’s Head of Economics on AI adoption data, Claude Code, the burden of knowledge & the next generation of experts

but it may mean that your job fundamentally changes.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

For data entry workers, maybe that type of role becomes more, and this is very speculative, so you can push back, but maybe someone needs to manage more the sort of relaying of information that Claude is providing.

And it's not quite a data entry worker focused on plugging in the data points from a report into a spreadsheet.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Anthropic’s Head of Economics on AI adoption data, Claude Code, the burden of knowledge & the next generation of experts

but there's nevertheless this important role that a human will play in translating and engaging with sort of people within the organization.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Anthropic’s Head of Economics on AI adoption data, Claude Code, the burden of knowledge & the next generation of experts

Yeah, you know, I think this sort of reminds me of one of the more...

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

complicated insights from our last report, but I actually think is quite relevant here, which is the set of things that businesses will do over time to restructure sort of their modernizing data tech stack or new organizational workflows to

unlock the productivity.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

It's not just do what you had been doing before, but sort of fundamentally restructure how the business operates.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

The historical analog here would be, again, electricity, where factories shifted from centralizing power on the factory floor to more distributed power.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

That changed fundamentally how factories operated.

So what do we see in the data?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Anthropic’s Head of Economics on AI adoption data, Claude Code, the burden of knowledge & the next generation of experts

We actually look at

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

how much context do businesses, when they use Cloud through the API, how much contextual information do they provide, and how much output does the model produce?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

And actually, if you generate more output tokens, that tends to be the most complex tasks.
