Experts Question Anthropic's Report on AI Changing Company Employment

The Guardian reported that Anthropic said in a report released on Thursday that since the release of Claude Code in March 2025, the share of its entry-level technical job hires fell from nearly 30% to 9%, employees spend about 22% of their time managing Claude agents, and starting in May 2026, the working hours recorded by AI agents exceeded those of human employees. Several researchers questioned the report. Morgan Frank of Case Western Reserve University showed in a peer-reviewed paper that the job market affected by AI had already deteriorated before ChatGPT was released; Julián Posada of Yale believes the report lacks independent third-party auditing and is more like hype for an IPO. Anthropic did not respond to The Guardian's request for comment.

Anthropic Research: How AI Is Changing Its Internal Hiring and Ways of Working

Anthropic has released an internal research report analyzing AI's impact on the company's hiring and work organization, based on data including hiring, AI usage, output metrics, employee surveys, calendars, and recruiting records, as well as interviews with 17 employees. The report says the share of junior employees in technical departments fell from 21% in early 2025 to 14%, and the share of junior technical roles in hiring dropped from 27% to 9%; by August, interactive AI Agents were working six times as many hours as employees, and per-engineer code commits reached five times the level of six months earlier. Human attention has become the bottleneck on Agent output, employees are shifting toward meta-work of building monitoring and orchestration Agents, and hiring now places more value on autonomy and judgment.
