Abstract: This research introduces Anthropic Interviewer, an AI-powered tool designed to conduct large-scale qualitative interviews at unprecedented scale while maintaining conversational depth. To validate this methodology, we deployed the system to interview 1,250 professionals - comprising 1,000 general workforce participants, 125 scientists, and 125 creative professionals - about their experiences integrating AI into their work. Results indicate predominantly positive sentiment regarding AI's productivity impact, with 86% of general workforce participants reporting time savings and 97% of creatives noting efficiency gains. However, significant concerns emerged around social stigma (69% of general workforce), professional displacement (55% expressing anxiety), and verification reliability (particularly among scientists). Thematic analysis revealed divergent adoption patterns: general workforce professionals envision AI-augmented supervisory roles; creatives navigate productivity gains against peer judgment and identity concerns; scientists desire AI partnership but withhold trust for core research tasks.
