## Sources

- [Anthropic Economic Index](https://www.anthropic.com/research/team/economics): Observe how people use a deployed assistant and compare automation with collaboration.
- [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/news): Read capability, safety and deployment arguments in the developer's own words.

## Perspectives

- [Adoption can move fast and still take work](/perspectives?position=amodei-fast-diffusion) (Dario Amodei): Amodei expects AI to spread through the economy unusually quickly, while procurement, permissions and organizational change still take time. He separates models writing code from complete job automation and reduced demand for workers.

## Terminal notes

- [An assistant can collaborate or take over a task](/notes/claude-augmentation-2025.md): Anthropic's first Economic Index classifies 57% of observed task use as augmentation and 43% as automation, based on anonymized Claude conversations. The dataset offers a view of how one assistant enters work.

## Parallels

- [More capable. More in control?](/parallels?parallel=delegated-judgment): When does handing over the work give people more room to decide?
- [A discovery is a beginning](/parallels?parallel=discovery-to-benefit): What has to happen for a technical advance to become a shared benefit?
