Anthropic pledges $200 million to research AI’s economic impact as CEO suggests job loss solutions
The fund will back research trials and policy evaluations as Anthropic warns AI could cause long-lasting labor market disruption.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic announced a $200 million investment to research AI's economic impact, establishing the Economic Futures Research Fund to back research trials and "program evaluation."
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay warning of job displacement, stating he cautioned not because he is "trying to be a" prophet of doom but to help policymakers adapt.
- The company is also establishing a $150 million national fellowship program while proposing government responses for unemployment reaching 5%, 10%, or an "unprecedented" level.
- Amodei proposed "mechanisms such as universal basic income" financed through taxes on "relevant companies" if displacement permanently lowers labor demand, creating what he called "novel economic territory."
- President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will soon meet AI executives to discuss "giving back" to the public, as Anthropic and OpenAI each prepare for initial public offerings.
