In numbers, an overwhelming 77 percent of businesses using Anthropic’s Claude AI software showed signs of automation, like “full task delegation,” according to the report released by the company this week. The report was based on data from Anthropic’s application programming interface, or API, through which customers access the AI software. But if over three-quarters of the companies in the report are using AI for outright automation, it portends much darker implications. That said, the report only concerns Anthropic’s Claude AI and may not necessarily be indicative of how other AI models, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, are being used. In reality, there are still serious questions over the usefulness of AI tech and the quality of its work.
