Recent research from Anthropic analysing how people use its AI assistant Claude AI suggests that artificial intelligence is more often supporting workers than replacing them. Instead of automating entire jobs, AI is typically used to help complete specific tasks such as writing, coding, or analysing information. For teachers, this highlights the importance of developing students’ critical thinking, problem solving and subject understanding, so they can evaluate and improve AI-generated work. For students studying computing, strong technical foundations remain essential, but they will increasingly need to work alongside AI tools in professional environments. The report also reinforces the growing importance of digital and AI literacy, helping young people understand how AI systems work, recognise their limitations, and use them responsibly in future careers.
