In December, Anthropic conducted a
large-scale study that involved more than 80,000 interviews using their new Anthropic Interviewer tool. The study sought to discover what people want from AI.
The participants spanned 159 countries and 70 languages around the world. The questions helped to participants express
"the role they want AI to play in their lives, whether it's already filling it, and what they're afraid might go wrong along the way."
Here are some highlights, but you can check out the full breakdown if you want more:
- 18.8% of respondents said they want AI to provide professional excellence
- 11.1% hope AI can deliver time freedom for them
- 32% said AI has delivered on its vision increased productivity
- 26.7% said they worry about the unreliability of AI
- 22.3% said they worry that AI will negatively impact jobs and the economy
- 16.3% said they're concerned about cognitive atrophy as a result of using AI
That's just a sample taken from various categories of questions. This is just the beginning of the effects of AI on people's work and attitudes. I'm sure there will be more data on these subjects in the coming years as AI use increases.
