Homework tops the list of top 10 ways Ghanaians use Claude AI; See full list
Ghana ranks 94th out of 116 countries for per-capita usage of Anthropic’s Claude AI, recording a usage index of 0.27x, below the global benchmark of 1.0x.
Homework is the most common use of AI in Ghana, accounting for 13.9% of Claude usage, followed by self-presentation writing (6.3%) and web front-end development (5.1%).
Ghana’s most distinctive AI use is also homework, which is 2.2 times the global rate, followed by document transformation (1.9x) and AI app building (1.7x).
The country recorded a 0.27x usage index when adjusted for the working-age population, compared with a global benchmark of 1.0x.
The figure suggests that Claude usage among Ghana's working-age population is considerably lower than the global average. Anthropic's data also indicates a strong relationship between per-capita Claude usage and economic output, with smaller, wealthier and more technologically advanced countries dominating the top positions.
Israel, Singapore and Australia were among the countries recording the highest levels of per-capita Claude usage.
Ghana's position places it within a broader pattern seen across several developing economies, where adoption of emerging artificial intelligence technologies remains below the levels recorded in high-income countries.
The data highlights the gap in AI adoption between Ghana and some of the world's leading technology markets, while also pointing to potential opportunities for greater integration of AI into education, business and professional activities.

The figures suggest that while Ghana's overall per-capita use of Claude remains below the global benchmark, AI is already being applied across education, writing, software development, business and other areas.
The relatively high use of AI for homework and other educational tasks also points to the growing role of AI tools among students and other learners in Ghana.
Overall, Ghana's 94th-place ranking underscores the country's relatively modest level of AI adoption compared with global leaders, while the usage patterns provide an insight into the areas where Ghanaians are already turning to AI most frequently.
