Anthropic founder: U.S. GDP may increase significantly

Clark, co-founder of the American artificial intelligence company Anthropic, said today that the rapid improvement of AI capabilities will bring about faster changes in all fields than before. The company's internal economic model estimates that AI may increase the U.S. GDP to $44 trillion by 2030.

Reuters reported that Jack Clark said at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Bangkok, Thailand, that this transformative technology requires international cooperation to establish "unique and strict regulations."

The IMF previously estimated that the U.S.’s nominal gross domestic product (Nominal GDP) this year will be approximately US$32 trillion. Clark pointed out that the US$44 trillion figure “sounds quite unreasonable” compared to the current level, but artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly improving scientific exploration capabilities.

He also mentioned: "If GDP grows to this level, economic theory shows that new industries and inventions must be created to support such a major economic expansion."
