Anthropic’s Interviewer study reveals stigma and anxiety around AI use among creative workers

Anthropic used its new Claude‑based "Interviewer" tool to conduct 1,250 in‑depth interviews with professionals, finding that while AI boosts productivity, many workers—especially creatives—hide their AI use due to stigma and fear of job loss. Among creative professionals, 97% said AI saves time and 68% said it improves work quality, yet 70% reported discrimination or negative judgment for relying on AI tools.
