Which Jobs Are Using AI the Most?
What We're Showing
This infographic highlights how different occupations are using AI in the United States, based on the share of AI-related conversations for each job category. It also shows each job group's share of the U.S. workforce.
Data is sourced from Anthropic’s analysis of millions of conversations on Claude, an AI chat assistant (created by Anthropic). The findings come from their research paper: Which Economic Tasks Are Performed with AI? Evidence from Millions of Claude Conversations.
Key Takeaways
- Computer and Mathematical occupations (including software roles) dominate AI use, making up 37.2% of AI-related conversations, despite accounting for just 3.4% of the workforce.
- Creative roles (Art, Design, Media) and Education also show strong AI adoption, highlighting content generation as a major application.
- AI usage remains low in hands-on fields such as Construction, Transportation, and Food Services, where automation is less feasible.
- According to Anthropic, about 57% of Claude conversations involved augmentation (AI assisting humans), and 43% involved automation (AI completing tasks with minimal human intervention).
