How was the study conducted?

Anthropic developed a specialized 'Claude Interviewer' AI model that conducted open-ended interviews in 70 languages across 159 countries with 80,508 users over one week in December 2025.

Why is there such a global divide in AI attitudes?

Developing nations (India, Brazil) see AI as an economic equalizer, while developed nations worry more about job displacement and regulation gaps. Japan, France show mixed views; Germany, South Korea are most skeptical.

What's the biggest user concern about AI?

Unreliability tops at 26.7%, showing that hallucinations and incorrect outputs remain the top pain point even in 2026. 'Overrestriction' ranks lowest, suggesting users fear unreliable AI more than restricted AI.
