内容总结：

谷歌云赞助发布的一项研究显示，生成式人工智能应用在全球呈现显著不均衡态势。根据Anthropic公司发布的第三份经济指数报告，其聊天机器人Claude的使用量高度集中于高收入经济体，美国以21.6%的全球使用占比位居首位，印度（7.2%）、巴西和日韩（均为3.7%）紧随其后。

经劳动力人口规模调整后的数据显示，新加坡和以色列等人均GDP较高的经济体在人工智能应用普及度上领先，爱沙尼亚、马耳他等知识型经济特征明显的国家同样表现突出。相比之下，印度、印尼等新兴经济体的人均使用率明显滞后。报告指出，互联网基础设施水平、人均收入差异及经济结构（知识经济与制造业比重）是造成这种差距的关键因素。

在美国本土，人工智能应用同样呈现地域分化：东北部（纽约、马萨诸塞等）与西海岸（加州、华盛顿等）州份位列使用率前25%，而南部多州（俄克拉荷马、密西西比等）则处于末位。值得注意的是，华盛顿特区的文档编辑与信息检索需求突出，加州则集中呈现编程类任务需求。

研究者警示，若人工智能红利持续向发达经济体倾斜，可能引发类似工业革命时期的技术扩散失衡问题。但报告同时传递出积极信号：人类正在快速适应与人工智能的协作互动，Claude当前主要应用于自动化处理与能力增强领域，其应用场景仍在持续拓展中。

如何选择首个生成式AI应用场景
开展生成式AI应用时，应首先关注能提升人类信息交互体验的领域。

Anthropic最新报告显示，其AI助手Claude在全球各地区的应用存在显著差异——高GDP国家和知识经济体的使用率明显更高。这份来自Anthropic的新数据揭示了AI技术在美国及全球范围内普及的不均衡现状。通过第三份经济指数报告，该公司追踪了其聊天机器人Claude的使用方式和地域分布，某些明显趋势已开始显现。

最值得注意的是，报告揭示了地域因素在AI应用中的关键作用。全球范围内，美国以21.6%的使用占比位居首位，远超第二名印度（7.2%）以及巴西、日本和韩国（均为3.7%）。考虑到这些国家的人口规模，该结果并不完全出乎意料。但通过将各国使用占比与其全球劳动人口占比进行对比，Anthropic发现了更深入的趋势。

经此调整后，人口较少但经济发达的新加坡和以色列在Claude使用活跃度上领先，其他经济强国如爱沙尼亚、马耳他、卢森堡和瑞士也表现突出。相反，印度、印尼和尼日利亚等新兴经济体的人均使用量则大幅落后。这种现象与收入水平相关——Claude使用率最高的国家通常具备高人均GDP、完善的互联网基础设施以及以知识型而非制造型为主的经济结构。

但该公司同时发出警示：这种差异可能引发重大经济分化，正如历史上电力化和内燃机等突破性技术问世时的情形。报告指出："若AI的影响在富裕国家最为显著，这项通用技术可能产生类似的经济效应。"

美国境内首份经人口调整的使用数据则显示出显著的地域差异：东北部（纽约、马萨诸塞、佛蒙特、哥伦比亚特区）与西海岸各州（加利福尼亚、华盛顿、俄勒冈）均位列前25%，而南部多州（俄克拉荷马、路易斯安那、密西西比、阿拉巴马）则处于后25%。虽然美国的使用情况与人均GDP存在明显关联，但较全球数据更大的波动性表明还有其他影响因素。Anthropic认为这可能与各州经济结构特性有关——位居使用指数首位的华盛顿特区在文档编辑和信息检索方面的需求异常频繁，而加利福尼亚州（总排名第三）则尤其常见代码编写任务。

该报告还深入分析了用户向Clade提交的任务类型、自动化与增强功能的应用比例以及AI使用率最高的职业领域。所有数据均基于8月份采集的约100万条对话记录。除使用不均衡的警示外，Anthropic认为报告也提供了乐观依据："人类对Claude的使用模式显然仍在形成阶段，但截至目前，我们正越来越自如地运用这项人工智能技术。"

Choosing Your First Generative AI Use Cases
To get started with generative AI, first focus on areas that can improve human experiences with information.
An Anthropic report shows uneven AI adoption of Claude across regions, with high-GDP countries and knowledge economies showing significantly higher usage.
New data from Anthropic has revealed the extent to which AI usage is spreading unequally, both in the U.S. and across the world.
The company’s third Economic Index report tracked how and where its chatbot, Claude, is being utilized -- and some clear trends have started to emerge.
Most notably, the report shows how location plays a major role in AI adoption.
Globally, the U.S. engages with Claude more than any other nation, claiming a 21.6% share of usage, well ahead of India in second place (7.2%), and Brazil, Japan and South Korea (all at 3.7%).
However, the results are not entirely unexpected, given these countries are large population centers. More insight is provided by adjusting each country’s share of usage by its share of the world’s working population -- and in doing so, Anthropic uncovers a different picture.
Using these criteria, two wealthy countries with relatively small populations, Singapore and Israel, lead the way in their engagement with Claude, while other similar countries with strong economies such as Estonia, Malta, Luxembourg and Switzerland are well represented. In contrast, emerging economies such as India, Indonesia and Nigeria find themselves way behind in terms of usage per capita.
This can be explained by income -- countries that use Claude most are likely to have high GDP per capita, robust internet connectivity and economies oriented more toward knowledge work than manufacturing.
But the company also sounds a note of warning, stating this disparity raises the issue of major economic divergence, as was the case with previous significant breakthroughs such as electrification or the combustion engine.
"If the effects of AI prove to be largest in richer countries, this general purpose technology might have similar economic implications," the report stated.
The first-ever breakdown of population-adjusted usage of Claude in the U.S. reveals a notable geographical split, with northeastern states (New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, District of Columbia) and west coast states (California, Washington and Oregon) all in the top 25% and a string of southern ones (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama) in the bottom 25%.
However, while there is also a clear link between usage and per capita GDP in the U.S., greater variance in the results than globally suggests other factors are at play. Anthropic believes this may be down to the nature of the work that powers individual states' economies, highlighting that Washington D.C., which tops the usage index, has disproportionately frequent requests for editing documents and searches for information, while coding tasks are particularly common in California (third overall).
Among other areas explored in the data are the nature of tasks requested of Claude, the split between automation and augmentation, and which occupations are making the most use of AI. The data itself was compiled in August from around a million conversations.
Aside from the warning about uneven usage and its economic implications, Anthropic believes the report provides reason for optimism. "The nature of people’s use of Claude is evidently still being defined," the report stated. "So far, though, it looks like we are becoming increasingly comfortable with AI."
