Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup, has launched the Anthropic Economic Futures Program to study and address the economic consequences of AI, particularly its impact on jobs and the workforce. The initiative aims to support new research and develop actionable policy solutions to mitigate potential job losses driven by AI technologies. The program will fund research exploring AI's influence on labor markets, productivity, and broader social and economic effects. This effort responds to concerns raised by CEO Dario Amodei about the disruptive potential of AI on employment. Anthropic intends for the program to closely track AI's impacts across social, economic, and professional dimensions, encouraging proposals that address both the challenges and opportunities presented by AI advancements.
