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 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

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...

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.

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

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

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

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

It turns out that in order to get those most complex implementations, so moving beyond just straightforward data entry to something that's much more sophisticated, maybe like automating biological research and analysis,

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, that's a big step.

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, you know, that is arguably like something that is...

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

maybe on the horizon, like I think a lot about even our productivity analysis might be conservative if we're failing to account for the automation of innovation itself.

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

Maybe we can return to that.

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'm kind of curious to hear your perspective.

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 turns out for those most complex tasks that we see in our data, businesses need to provide disproportionately more contextual information.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

So even if the capabilities are there,
