Summary
Anthropic conducted a large-scale survey of over 81,000 Claude AI users worldwide to understand their hopes, concerns, and practical experiences with AI. The research aimed to ground the abstract conversation about AI's risks and benefits in real user perspectives. Users shared how they currently use AI, what they dream it could enable, and what they fear about its development. The findings reveal a gap between public discourse and actual user experiences, with users expressing concrete aspirations for AI to enhance productivity, creativity, and problem-solving while also voicing concerns about ethical implications and societal impacts.

Last December, tens of thousands of Claude users around the world had a conversation with our AI interviewer to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do.
