GAIA synthesizes behavioral data from Anthropic's Economic Index, OpenAI's occupational exposure ratings, and Brynjolfsson et al.'s machine-learning suitability scores to track how AI is reshaping work worldwide.
Nearly half of all Claude.ai requests in February 2026 were work-related. Personal use follows at 42%, and educational use accounts for 12% — signaling that AI has already crossed from experimentation into daily professional workflows.
AI-rated exposure (beta) estimates the share of tasks within an occupation that AI can meaningfully assist with. Knowledge-intensive roles lead; physical and service roles trail.
Claude.ai logs show six distinct collaboration modes. Directive use — giving direct instructions to complete tasks — dominates, followed by task iteration and learning.
GAIA combines three complementary datasets — real-world AI usage behavior, occupational AI exposure ratings, and crowd-sourced machine-learning suitability scores from academic research.
