Is AI Helpful or a Concern at Work ?

Anthropic on Thursday announced the launch of a new AI-powered “Interviewer” tool, designed not for direct productivity, but to study how people actually use and feel about artificial intelligence. Available in Claude as a week-long pilot, the tool pops up for selected users and asks them to take part in short interviews about their experience with AI. The company said it plans to publicly share the insights gathered from these interactions, aiming to better understand user sentiment, expectations, and concerns around emerging AI technology.

Powered by Anthropic’s own language model, Claude, Interviewer works in three stages — planning, interviewing, and analysis. It automatically creates interview questions based on research goals, conducts adaptive conversations, and helps cluster and summarize responses alongside human researchers. Anthropic revealed that the system has already been used to interview 1,250 professionals from general, scientific, and creative fields. While most participants said AI saved time and improved efficiency, some raised concerns about job security, data safety, and over-reliance on AI for critical or creative decision-making.
