Mapping AI Use at Work, at Home, and in Science: Insights from Google

Google's AI and Economy ATLAS v1.0: Mapping Gemini Usage in the Economy: This paper introduces the AI and Economy ATLAS (Activity, Task, Landscape, and Adoption Study), an ongoing economic research initiative using Google AI usage data. The research maps AI usage to over 800 occupations, 4000 tasks, 300 household activities, 150 countries, and 140 languages. Key findings: AI adoption spans occupations covering 88 percent of US employment, but remains shallow and collaborative; outside work, AI spans activities making up 98 percent of Americans' non-sleep time; globally, adoption scales with national wealth.

AI in Science, Early Insights: Scientific progress is a key driver of economic growth. We provide early insights on AI impacts on science from three data sources: 15 million Gemini interactions, over 2,600 specialized AI models across disciplines, and a survey of over 600 scientists. Key findings: Scientists use AI more than most other occupations; LLMs and specialized models act as complements; scientists report large productivity gains (saving nearly 7 hours per week); AI is already changing the scientific process, shifting bottlenecks downstream as some stages become easier.
