AI adoption doubles in two years as 40 percent of US workers use Claude

Anthropic’s new Economic Index reveals the fastest technology adoption curve in modern history: US workplace AI use doubled from 20% in 2023 to 40% in 2025. Claude’s coding tasks dominate at 36%, but education and science uses are rising, and ā€œdirectiveā€ conversations—where users hand off complete tasks—climbed from 27% to 39% in just eight months. Geographic adoption skews rich: Singapore uses Claude at 4.6x expected per capita, Canada at 2.9x, while India sits at 0.27x and Nigeria 0.2x. Enterprise API data shows 77% of business usage is automation, not augmentation, and cost is secondary to capability. These trends point to AI consolidating power in advanced economies and firms that can rapidly integrate automation.

Potential Impact

High-adoption regions will capture disproportionate productivity gains, reinforcing existing economic advantages. Key beneficiaries include:

  • Enterprises automating coding and admin work at scale through API access.

  • Education and research sectors using AI for tutoring, drafting, and scientific exploration.

  • Governments and firms in high-income economies leveraging AI for competitive lead.

    This isn’t diffusion; it’s concentration - shaping the next decade’s global economic balance.

Implications for People/Careers

Workers in high-adoption economies gain leverage by learning to design and manage AI-augmented workflows. Entry-level fact-checking, debugging, and rote admin jobs are shrinking. Mid-level professionals who delegate full tasks to AI are now expected to orchestrate, not execute. Senior roles will shift toward setting guardrails, data context, and integration strategies. Those in lagging economies risk exclusion from productivity compounding, widening income and opportunity gaps.

Our Future//Take

AI adoption is not flattening global opportunity, it’s fracturing it. The concentration of usage in rich economies signals a return to divergence, not convergence. For founders, the move is clear: build automation-first products, not augmentation add-ons, and lock in distribution in high-AUI markets. For workers, treat context curation and AI workflow design as must-have skills. National strategies will decide whether regions fall behind. The winners will not be those who simply use AI, but those who institutionalize automation into the fabric of their economies and organizations now. Master AI for FREE šŸŽ 

Quick summaries of this week's top AI news, their relevance to your career, and our expert opinions.

Meta has launched its most advanced wearable yet: the Ray-Ban Display glasses with a built-in AI system and a companion Neural Band. The glasses overlay step-by-step instructions, live captions, translations, navigation, and app notifications directly in the lens. The Neural Band, an EMG wrist sensor, reads tiny hand movements so you can scroll, select, or reply without touching a screen. Messaging and calls from WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger integrate natively, including two-way video calls and live POV sharing. The glasses run for 6 hours on a charge with 30 more from the case. Pricing starts at $799 for both glasses and band, available in the US from September 30 and rolling out to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK in early 2026. Meta isn’t just adding features it’s betting that wearables can replace the phone as the primary interface for AI.

Why It Matters to You

If you’re building or scaling in tech, design, or media, this is your early signal. Meta isn’t testing a feature; it’s repositioning the interface layer. Glasses plus neural input shifts where and how people consume information, respond to messages, and navigate daily tasks. That means new design patterns, new distribution channels, and new behavioral habits. If your product or service assumes the phone is the default interface, you’ll need to rethink that assumption fast. Early adoption here isn’t about fashion it’s about staying visible and relevant when interaction itself moves off the screen.

Our Take

This isn’t another gadget drop; it’s Meta’s clearest move yet toward replacing the smartphone. Expect the first wave of adoption among creators, mobile professionals, and high-income early tech adopters. If you’re building consumer products, start testing use cases optimized for heads-up, hands-free interaction now. Messaging, navigation, and translation will be table stakes; what wins is delivering utility without friction in a wearable-first context. Ignore this shift and you’ll miss the next interface change. Lean in, and you can shape how entire markets adapt when AI and gesture control make phones optional, not essential.

Researchers trained a generative transformer called Delphi-2M on health records from 400,000 UK Biobank participants and validated it on 1.9 million Danes without retraining. The model predicts progression rates for 1,000+ diseases based on an individual’s history, matching or exceeding existing single-disease models. Beyond prediction, it can simulate synthetic health trajectories up to 20 years into the future, enabling stress-testing of healthcare systems and training of new AI models without exposing real patient data. By uncovering clusters of co-morbidities and temporal patterns, it offers a path toward precision medicine at population scale, with implications for insurance, pharma, and public health planning.

Why It Matters to You

If you’re building in healthtech, insurance, or biotech, this is your wake-up call. Multi-disease prediction moves us past siloed risk models into long-range, system-wide forecasting. Imagine pricing risk, designing therapies, or allocating resources based on trajectories of millions, not snapshots of one illness. This kind of foresight will become the competitive edge. Those who can integrate predictive health signals into products and policies now will own the next decade of health innovation.

Our Take

This is more than academic. Delphi-2M shows that health data is finally entering the transformer era. Expect a wave of startups and incumbents racing to build predictive health services on top of these models — from preventive care apps to actuarial platforms. The smart move now: secure data access partnerships and invest in explainability layers. Whoever translates these population-scale forecasts into trusted, actionable insights for patients, providers, and payers will set the standard for the future of personalized healthcare. šŸ‘‰ Do Not Delay Anymore - Master AI Before Its Too Late.

Speaking in Athens, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis (a neuroscientist and former chess prodigy) argues that the accelerating pace of AI innovation makes ā€œlearning how to learnā€ the essential meta-skill for the future of work. With progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI) expected within a decade, according to Hassabis, he believes society faces both ā€œradical abundanceā€ and serious risks. Hassabis emphasizes replacing or augmenting traditional education focus (math, humanities, sciences) with meta-skills: adaptability, self-directed learning, optimizing how you pick up new fields. He warns that change is no longer predictable on a 10-year arc — some shifts happen week by week. This assertion is not just theory: it ups the stakes for employees, educators, and creators to redesign how they learn and upskill now.

Why It Matters to You

If you’re building a business, leading a team, or designing your own career, this changes the game. The skill gap isn’t just ā€œlearning new toolsā€ — it’s learning how you learn. That becomes your leverage over competitors stuck in old models. For creators, it means constantly updating your craft. For founders, investing in learning infrastructure inside your org becomes as important as hiring. People who treat meta-skills like core assets will win. Everyone else risks being left behind.

Our Take

This isn’t a motivational speech, it’s a red flag and an opportunity. The signal: AGI is no longer sci-fi; the timeline is tightening. The people and teams who grip this shift early by building feedback loops, emphasizing self-directed learning, and adapting their strategy weekly, grab the asymmetric gain. Your move: audit what your skill growth looks like, drop what’s slow, double down on methods that let you learn fast. As a leader, you should embed meta-learning into hiring, onboarding, and product iteration. If you don’t engineer learning structures now, your team will lag in tomorrow’s race. ⚔AI Mastery for FREE (Sign up Now).
