About this data

The State of AI Work is computed server-side from data voluntarily logged by Anotics members — earnings entries, work sessions, platform activity signals, account-recovery submissions, and feedback entries — covering the last 90 days, ending July 28, 2026. All values are aggregated and anonymized: no individual worker is identifiable. Any metric backed by fewer than 10 distinct workers is omitted or shown as "limited data" rather than estimated.

This is a self-reported sample of 13 workers, not a census of the AI-work industry. Pay figures are reported in USD only; non-USD entries are excluded from that section. The snapshot is refreshed periodically. To cite, use this URL and the "as of" date above.
