A survey conducted by Anthropic, an AI startup, indicates that software engineers are more anxious about job displacement due to AI than elementary school teachers. The study, published on April 22, gathered responses from over 81,000 users of Claude, Anthropic's AI model, revealing that about 20% of respondents expressed concern over economic displacement. The findings suggest that workers in roles heavily influenced by AI, particularly software engineers, are significantly more worried than those in less exposed professions. Interestingly, early-career respondents were more likely to express anxiety about job loss compared to their senior counterparts. The survey also evaluated productivity, with a mean rating of 5.1 indicating substantial productivity gains attributed to AI. However, 42% of participants did not show clear indicators of productivity changes. Anthropic plans to launch a monthly Economic Index Survey to continuously assess how AI affects jobs and productivity, aiming to capture shifts in public sentiment as AI capabilities evolve.
