Anthropic has released its third economic index, which is a extensive study of the use of Claude AI in countries, US states and businesses. The September 2025 report states that coding is still the largest part of the world’s activity, yet education and science are becoming more prominent.
This study also found that automation is rapidly common, more users rely on the cloud to complete the whole tasks. Anthropic said the trend shows a preliminary look at how AI is changing work and can determine which workers and the region benefit the most from technology.
From debugging code to classroom education
Software development is the most common use of cloud, which makes more than a third of global activity. But the coding type has changed. The creation of the new code has doubled in the last eight months, while debugging has decreased, which suggested that consumers rely on the cloud for more advanced results in the same effort.
The use of Claude AI for education and science purposes was also extended. The share of educational work increased from about 9 % to 12 % by August in early 2025. Scientific works climbed from 6 % to 7 %. On the contrary, business and financial work dropped from 6 % to 3 %, and the administration dropped from 5 % to 3 %.
Automation vs AI works increases
Not only did Anthropic find out which tasks the Claude handled but also how people worked with the model. Talks where consumers hired the cloud and let it run with the least input, from 2724 to 39 % from August 2025. For the first time, automation increased far more than overall cooperation, which in the central trend created a balance of automation vs. increased in AI works.
The AI company said the two forces could explain this change: Improve the ability to provide accurate results on the Claude’s first attempt, and the increasing consumer confidence. This combination has made it common for people instead of repeating the AI tool completely, instead of moving the AI tool.
World and Enterprise Pattern
The United States contributed 21.6 % of global use far beyond India, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea. Adjusting to the population, small income countries led a per capita. Israel, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea all used more clouds than expected on the basis of their working age population.
Inside the United States, Washington, DC showed the most per capita, followed by Utah, California, New York and Virginia. Anthropk said the local economies created how people used the model, with IT -related requests offered the most common in California and tourism offered in Hawaii.
The use of consumers in adopting an enterprise is more bent over automation. Compared to 36 % on Claude.ai, about 44 % of API traffic includes coding. Administrative works were also often done, while education and creative work were rarely common. About eight of the 10 Eight Eight Business Reconciliations were automatic, which shows that companies are embedded directly to the cloud in workflows.
Anthropk said it will update its economic index and release data to researchers and policy makers to help prepare AI’s economic impact. These results have indicated an unequal but rapid change: coding still guides, but education, science and automation are playing a growing role in the early role of AI in the economy.
