Anthropic launched Anthropic Interviewer, a Claude-powered tool that conducts and analyzes qualitative interviews at scale — debuting with a study of 1,250 professionals on how AI affects their work.
The tool covers the entire research process: preparing questions, conducting 10–15 minute interviews, and grouping themes for human analysts. In the first study, 86% of respondents said AI saves them time, while 69% noticed social stigma around using AI, and 55% expressed concern about future careers.
Creatives reported hiding AI use due to fear of judgment and job loss, while scientists indicated they want AI partners in research — but still do not fully trust the models.
Anthropic is publishing all 1,250 transcripts publicly and plans ongoing studies to track how the human-AI relationship evolves.
