Anthropic Economics releases 2030 AI impact model; critics say scenarios aren't extreme enough
scaling01 · x · 2026-09-10
Anthropic's Economics team unveiled a new model exploring how AI could affect economic growth, jobs, and wages by 2030, with an interactive page comparing user predictions against 10,000+ Americans.
Quote-tweeter nikolaj2030 argues the "extreme" scenarios still undershoot: they only assume knowledge work gets automated, while physical labor could also be automated by 2030, making the economy 10x its current size.
