Anthropic is launching a $200 million Economic Futures Research Fund to support external research on how to prepare society for AI's economic impacts, focusing on worker transitions, income support modernization, and ensuring AI gains are broadly shared. The fund will primarily support projects in the $5–30 million range and prioritize five research areas: workplace AI integration, retraining and job placement, AI-driven displacement support, worker stakes in AI growth, and public investment effectiveness. Research findings will be shared publicly at key milestones to help workers, firms, and governments adapt to potential AI-driven economic disruption.
