The AI expectations gap

Summary

A nationally representative survey of 2026 US adults and Anthropic staff compares expectations about AI capabilities, adoption and labor-market effects. Anthropic staff expect faster progress: 91% expect AI to make a Nobel-level discovery by 2030, versus 39% of US adults. Both groups link expected AI automation of one's own job to higher expected unemployment.
