Economic Futures \ Anthropic

The Anthropic Economic Futures Research Fund supports ambitious external research on interventions to prepare society for the economic impacts of AI.
Field experiments can help us understand which collaborative patterns develop human expertise alongside AI, how organizational design choices affect productivity, and what difference worker voice makes in those choices.
The evidence on retraining and job placement is mixed, and it may not generalize to AI-induced disruption and rapid structural transformation. We want to find out whether promising programs could scale quickly across a broader population.
Many insurance systems for supporting displaced workers assume that joblessness is temporary. If AI leads to broader, more persistent displacement, we’ll need instruments calibrated to a new equilibrium.
Our Economic Policy Framework (EPF) discusses universal pre-distributive capital accounts and adjacent mechanisms. But these have limited direct empirical precedent at scale.
The EPF calls for modernizing the income safety net and expanding public investment in human- and community-facing work. Policymakers need a consistent way to compare these instruments against one another, and against direct transfers.
With the research the Fund supports, we want to study what programs could make the economy more flexible and resilient, ensure the benefits of AI are shared, and minimize the harm that AI-driven disruption could cause.
We're launching the Anthropic Economic Index connector for Claude, which lets anyone explore real data about AI and work.

We've extended the Anthropic Economic Index along two important dimensions, introducing a geographic analysis of Claude.ai conversations and a first-of-its-kind examination of enterprise API use. We show how Claude usage has evolved over time, how adoption patterns differ across regions, and how firms are deploying frontier AI to solve business problems.
