Anthropic2026-10-17 09:20:28Anthropic co-founder says AI could lift U.S. GDP to $44 trillionAnthropic co-founder Jack Clark said Saturday that artificial intelligence capabilities are improving quickly and could drive faster change across a wide range of fields. Citing an internal economic model from Anthropic, Clark said AI could help push U.S. economic output to $44 trillion by 2030, up from a level he described as currently a little above $30 trillion. He acknowledged that the projection 「sounds pretty crazy」, but argued that AI is already sharply accelerating scientific discovery. Speaking at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok, Clark also said the international community should work together to create 「special and strict rules」 for what he described as a transformative technology. He added that if GDP were to expand by that much, economic theory would imply the creation of new industries and inventions to support an economy of that scale. The remarks were cited by Odaily, which attributed the report to Jin10.490
