Managers and AI: The Most Frequent Users – But Not for Managing

Of all the professions that most frequently open Claude, managers came in first. In Anthropic’s survey, they made up 23% of respondents – while accounting for roughly 7% of U.S. employment. Managers are overrepresented among AI users by a factor of three. Now the second number: management tasks make up just about 4% of all sessions. The people who manage are using AI for everything except managing.

Behind these two numbers lies the most precise description of how managers actually work with AI. And why the fear of “it will take my job” works differently in this profession than you might expect.
