New interview study tracks how workers adapt to AI
Some workers reported strong time savings from AI but remained anxious about job security and changing roles.
Anthropic has unveiled Anthropic Interviewer, an AI-driven tool for large-scale workplace interviews. The system used Claude to conduct 1,250 structured interviews with professionals across the general workforce, creative fields and scientific research.
In surveys, 86 percent said AI saves time and 65 percent felt satisfied with its role at work. Workers often hoped to automate routine tasks while preserving responsibilities that define their professional identity.
Creative workers reported major time savings and quality gains yet faced stigma and economic anxiety around AI use. Many hid AI tools from colleagues, feared market saturation and still insisted on retaining creative control.
Across groups, professionals imagined careers where humans oversee AI systems rather than perform every task themselves. Anthropic plans to keep using Anthropic Interviewer to track attitudes and inform future model design.
