Anthropic
Anthropic is committing $200 million to a new research fund to support external studies on navigating the economic impacts of AI.

Summary

Anthropic has announced a $200 million Economic Futures Research Fund to support ambitious external research and large-scale pilots addressing the economic impacts of artificial intelligence. The fund focuses on five key areas: shaping AI's impact on workers at the firm level, equipping people for AI-driven transitions, modernizing income support, building worker stakes in AI-driven growth, and generating new evidence on public investments. Emphasizing global projects and grants primarily ranging from $5 million to $30 million, the initiative aims to build an empirical evidence base to help workers, firms, and governments adapt to an AI-transformed economy.
