Anthropic has announced a partnership with the University of Chicago's Becker Friedman Institute for Economics to explore the impact of AI on labor markets and the economy. This collaboration will provide BFI faculty with access to Anthropic's Claude for Enterprise, along with training and workshops to facilitate economic research on AI. The initiative aims to expand upon Anthropic's Economic Index, focusing on productivity measurement, labor market transitions, and distributional impacts of AI. The partnership seeks to leverage the expertise of BFI economists to develop nuanced analyses and inform policy discussions, with the ultimate goal of offering valuable insights for policymakers and researchers on AI's complex economic effects.
