Measuring what work generative AI does: Survey evidence versus chat logs
The chat logs of AI companies are often used to measure what work AI actually does. This column uses a nationally representative US survey that links generative AI use to workers’ detailed tasks and compares them with task shares derived from Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI chat data. The four sources disagree sharply, largely because chat classifiers cannot see a user’s occupation and therefore classify use into a few generic activities. Chat logs are informative but on their own can misattribute AI use across occupations and cannot substitute for measurement anchored in who the worker is.
