Silicon Valley has considered the promise of liberal AI to create new career paths and economic opportunities – like new iconic Solo unicorn startupBanks and analysts have postponed AI Ability to promote GDPBut those benefits are unlikely Equally distributed In front of the fact that many people expect to be Extensive AI-related job loss,
Between this background, anthropic on Friday Launched Its economic futures program, a new initiative to support research on the impacts of AI on Labor Market and AI’s influences on the global economy and develop policy proposals for shift preparation.
“Everyone is asking questions about what the economic effects are [of AI]Both positive and negative, “Sarah Heck, the head of policy programs and participation in anthropic, told Techcrunch.” It is really important to root these conversations in evidence and what is going to happen, there are no predetermined results or scenes on what is going to happen. [happen],
At least one of the prominent names shared their views on the possible economic impact of AI: Dario Amodi, CEO of Anthropic. In May, Amodi Predictive AI can erase half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and can increase unemployment by 20% in the next one to five years.
Asked whether one of the major goals of the Economic Futures program of Anthropic was ways to do research to reduce the loss of AI-related jobs, Hek was cautious, given that the disruptive shift would bring “both good and bad”.
“I think the important goal is to find out what is really happening,” he said. “If there is a loss of job, we should call a collective group of thinkers to talk about mitigation. If a huge GDP expansion, great. We should also call policy makers to find out what to do with it. I don’t think any of it will be monolith.”
The program makes on the current of anthropic Economic indexLaunched in February, collected by Open-Sures, over time to analyze the effects of AI on labor markets and economy, unknown data-details that lock many of its competitive corporate walls.
The program will focus on three main areas: providing grants to researchers checking the impact of AI on labor, productivity and value construction; Creating a platform to develop and evaluate policy proposals to prepare for the economic impacts of AI; And construction of dataset to track the economic use and impact of AI.
Anthropic is closing the program with some action items.
The company has opened up applications for its rapid grant up to $ 50,000 for “Economic Research on AI’s economic impacts”, as well as evidence-based policy proposals for anthropic-hosted simmosia events in Washington, DC and Europe. Anthropic is also demanding partnership with independent research institutes and will provide partners with Cloud API credit and other resources to support research.
For the grant, Heck stated that anthropic is looking for individuals, academics or teams that may come up with high quality data in a short time.
“We want to be able to complete it within six months,” he said. “It is not necessary that the colleague be reviewed.”
For the seminar, the anthropic background and a wide variety of intellectual approaches seek policy views, Hek said. He said that the policy proposal would “be beyond labor”.
“We want to understand more about the infection,” he said. “How are the workflows in new ways? How are new jobs being made that never consider anyone before? … How are some skills valuable, while others are not?”
Hek said anthropic also expects to study the effects of AI on fiscal policy. For example, what happens if there is a big innings in the way enterprises have a big innings in the way of viewing price construction?
“We really want to open aperture on things that can be studied.” “Labor is definitely one of them, but it is a very wide health.”
Anthropic rival Openai released her own Economic blueprint In January, which focuses more on helping the public adopt the AI ​​tool, building a strong AI infrastructure and setting up the “AI Economic Zone” that streamlines the rules to promote investment. While Openai’s star The project will build thousands of construction jobs to create data centers across the US in partnership with Oracle and SoftBank, Openai does not directly address AI-related job loss in its economic blueprint.
Openi’s blueprint, however, underlines the framework, where the government can play a role in supply chain training pipelines, can invest in literacy, support regional training programs, and increase public university’s reach to promote local AI-literate employees.
Anthropic’s economic impact program is part of a slow but growing innings among some technical companies, which puts itself in position as part of the solution of that disintegration that they are helping to create – whether iconic anxiety, real philanthropic, or mix of both mixture. For example, on Thursday, ride-hail company Lyft launched a platform To collect inputs from human drivers because it starts integrating robotaxis into its platform.
