Send us a text People are using AI at work every day, and pretending they’re not. In this episode, I unpack Anthropic Interviewer, a new Claude-based research tool designed to run large-scale, conversational interviews about how people really use AI at work. Drawing on 1,250 interviews across the general workforce, creatives and scientists, the findings reveal a clear conundrum: AI is boosting productivity, but stigma, trust issues and identity fears are stopping people from being open about it.From “AI creeping” and professional identity protection to creative anxiety and scientific trust barriers, this episode explores what’s really holding AI adoption back and what it means for the future of work.Need More Support?
