Anthropic's economics team builds a scenario explorer modeling AI's US economic impact by 2030
AnthropicAI · x · 2026-09-09
Anthropic's economics team released a new model of how AI might affect US growth, jobs, and wages by 2030, packaged as an interactive scenario explorer.
- The model breaks jobs into bundles of tasks; AI can speed a task up, do it, leave it untouched, or create new tasks.
- It models three scenarios — modest, substantial, and extreme. The economy grows in all three, but more transformative scenarios automate more knowledge work, making equitable distribution of gains the central challenge.
- Users can submit predictions and compare with over 10,000 Americans surveyed. The team acknowledges the model simplifies a complex reality.
