Denmark
AI Literacy Foundation is based in Copenhagen, so we start at home. How Denmark uses Claude, how that compares with the world, and the topics people here bring to it.

The world, country by country
Every published country, ordered by its Usage Index. AI Literacy Foundation is based in Copenhagen, so Denmark is one tap away as a benchmark. Pin any country to compare the rest against it.
Share of all Claude.ai usage
A different lens. Not per person, but each country's slice of total measured usage. The United States alone is about a fifth of it.
How people use AI
Not where, but what for. The occupations whose tasks appear most, whether people delegate work or collaborate on it, and the things Claude actually produces.
Occupations by usage
Tasks mapped to the US O*NET-SOC occupation they belong to, worldwide. The bar shows each occupation's split between automation, where the person delegates a task, and augmentation, where the person works with Claude.
Delegate or collaborate
The split between automation and augmentation, by setting. Personal chat is close to even. The developer API is almost all automation.
What Claude produces
The main output of each conversation, worldwide. One hundred squares, each roughly one in a hundred conversations.
Most common requests
The broad topics people bring to Claude, as a share of conversations. Switch between the world and the United States.
Four things the data shows

Figures are shares of Claude.ai conversations under Anthropic's privacy filtering, so they need not sum to 100. Occupations use the US O*NET-SOC classification.
