Will artificial intelligence nibble around the edges of the economy or upend it altogether? A new, interactive model from Anthropic lets people test their assumptions.
AI's impact on economy is uncertain
Anthropic's survey reveals mixed public expectations about AI's economic effects, anticipating both productivity surges and job displacements.

Experts suggest policymakers should proactively prepare for significant government spending to manage these transformations, while acknowledging that diffusion of the technology might be slower than its development.
