Georgia teachers appear to be using AI more than people in other states to create educational and tutoring materials, per a new report from Anthropic.
Why it matters: Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, learn, play and plan, and data about its usage helps us understand how society and the economy are adapting.
How it works: Anthropic mined data from the company's AI model Claude across more than 150 countries and all 50 U.S. states (plus D.C.) to create the index.
Zoom in: Georgians ranked 19th among the country's Claude users and had a disproportionately high percentage of people using the tech to create K–12 educational teaching materials, per Anthropic.
- They also use the tech to create educational tutoring and "academic assistance." An Anthropic spokesperson told Axios that examples could include describing philosophical concepts, music theory education or help with statistics.
Georgians who work in tech and mathematical fields make up Claude's biggest user base, followed by workers in educational instruction and creative, media and sports industries.
- That makes sense: Georgia is a Southeast tech hub that's home to major universities and a thriving entertainment industry.
Zoom out: Editing and improving writing and documents is the top topic (4.6%), followed by fixing software code (3.2%) and assisting with research, writing and educational materials (3.1%).
Reality check: We're still in the opening pages of AI's breakout story, and the technology's effect on the environment, labor, relationships, mental health and much more are still being learned.
- Like humans, it can — and often will — make mistakes.
