Anthropic staff expect AI to handle 75% of work by 2030
Anthropic released a report titled “The AI Expectations Gap” on October 16, 2026, showing that 75% of its employees believe AI will perform three‑quarters of their tasks by 2030, compared with only 28% of U.S. adults who share that view. The internal survey of 1,334 staff in August 2026 also found that more than half expect at least 80% of their work to be automated, while just 5% of the broader U.S. workforce holds that expectation. Additionally, 91% of Anthropic staff think AI will enable a Nobel‑level discovery by 2030, versus 39% of U.S. adults. The report notes staff predict U.S. unemployment could exceed 12% by 2030, compared with an 8% forecast from the public.
