Anthropic announced a partnership with the University of Chicago's Becker Friedman Institute for Economics (BFI) to study AI's impact on labor markets and the broader economy. BFI faculty will receive Claude for Enterprise access, training sessions, and virtual workshops as part of the collaboration. The partnership extends Anthropic's Economic Index initiative, aiming to combine Anthropic's usage data with BFI's economic expertise to produce more rigorous analysis of AI's distributional, productivity, and labor market effects for policymakers.
Anthropic announced the formation of an Economic Advisory Council comprising ten distinguished economists from institutions including MIT, University of Chicago, Harvard, LSE, and Yale. The council will advise on AI's impact on labor markets, economic growth, and socioeconomic systems, informing the research agenda for Anthropic's Economic Index initiative. The move signals Anthropic's intent to build credible, policy-relevant research infrastructure around AI's economic effects, targeting policymakers and business leaders as an audience.
