The Anthropic Economic Futures Program, announced on June 27, 2025, aims to address the economic impacts of AI by supporting research and policy development. This initiative seeks to understand AI's transformative effect on work and to propose strategies to prepare for these changes. The program builds on Anthropic's Economic Index and focuses on three pillars: providing research grants, fostering evidence-based policy discussions, and enhancing economic measurement and data collection to inform better policy decisions. It will offer rapid research grants, host symposia for policy proposals, and establish partnerships with research institutions. The urgency stems from AI's growing influence on global labor markets, necessitating empirical analysis and data-driven conversations to guide policymakers in navigating AI's economic implications. The program underscores the need for real-time research to track AI-driven opportunities and challenges, equipping society to respond effectively to an AI-enabled future.
