# Anthropic

**Anthropic** (AI research and product company; creator of Claude) is cited for its **'Economic Index'**, which showed that users delegating complete tasks to AI with minimal oversight jumped from **27% in late 2024 to 39% by August 2025**, with **automation exceeding augmentation for the first time**.

This is a core data pillar of [[claim-tipping-point-2025]] — the shift from AI-as-assistant (augmentation) to AI-as-doer (automation) that makes zero-click delegation mainstream.

**Enrichment note:** Anthropic publishes indices on AI usage including task delegation and automation-vs-augmentation metrics; treat the specific figures as cited proprietary data.
