Summary
The team previously reported data on how students were using AI. In this research, they used their automated analysis research tool that reveals broad patterns of Claude usage while protecting users’ privacy. Studying higher education professionals’ use of Claude.ai presents unique challenges, as they don’t currently collect self-reported occupational data on their platform. Using their privacy-preserving tool, they analyzed conversations from Claude.ai Free and Pro accounts associated with higher education email addresses and then automatically filtered conversations for educator-specific tasks—such as creating syllabi, grading assignments, or developing course materials. 2 This filtering yielded approximately 74,000 conversations from a period in May and June.
