Anthropic’s new research maps three wildly different futures for the AI economy—and the future of knowledge work

Anthropic released a new research model projecting three distinct futures for the U.S. economy and knowledge work by 2030. These scenarios range from a mild economic boost to a severe outcome involving 18% unemployment among knowledge workers. The research attempts to quantify both the economic upside and the specific job risks associated with AI integration. While the model maps these divergent paths, some economists have already expressed disagreement with the findings.
