Anthropic on Wednesday joined growing calls for the artificial intelligence industry to find ways to cushion people from the technology\u2019s disruptions, announcing an initial $200 million investment to research AI\u2019s impact on jobs and the economy.<\/p>\n

Alongside new policy proposals from the maker of the Claude chatbot, Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei published an essay on his personal website that expanded on his position that the government should promise economic support for those financially impacted by AI. The technology could produce much larger disruptions to the labor market than previous technological advancements, Amodei wrote, and those disruptions could last longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key challenge in such a world won\u2019t be incentivizing growth, but finding a way for everyone to share in the benefits,\u201d Amodei wrote.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes on the heels of Anthropic rival OpenAI on Monday outlining goals that included ensuring gains from the technology are \u201cwidely shared.\u201d OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently met with Sen. Bernie Sanders to discuss a plan for the public to take an ownership stake in artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI, using their stock to create a public wealth fund that would spread the fortune generated by AI behemoths.<\/p>\n

In the Oval Office on Wednesday, President Donald Trump told reporters that he will soon meet with executives from several leading AI companies to discuss \u201cgiving back\u201d to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about giving back \u200bsomething to the public, and if we do that, the \u2060public will become very rich,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think they\u2019ll do that, and I think it\u2019ll make \u200bit very popular.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his essay, Amodei said he has warned of job displacement not because he is \u201ctrying to be a \u2018prophet of doom\u2019\u201d but because he wants \u201dboth policymakers and the private sector to have the best chance to adapt and respond.\u201d He proposed better data collection to track AI job displacement, pro-employment policy incentives to slow or reduce displacement and \u201cmechanisms such as universal basic income\u201d if job displacement more permanently drives down labor demand.<\/p>\n

That universal basic income could be financed through taxes on \u201crelevant companies\u201d or by raising the capital gains tax, Amodei wrote.<\/p>\n

Scant details were available Wednesday about the $200 million commitment from Anthropic, but the company said it will go to what it calls an Economic Futures Research Fund that will back research trials and \u201cprogram evaluation\u201d on public policies it deems promising. The company is also establishing a $150 million national fellowship program it says will help early-career professionals \u201cextend the benefits of AI to communities across America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthropic and OpenAI each recently announced they were moving toward initial public offerings of shares, following Elon Musk\u2019s rocket company SpaceX, which is pitching itself as an AI-focused space company as it prepares to go public.<\/p>\n

The economic policy framework Anthropic proposed Wednesday set recommendations for how the U.S. government could respond to three levels of economic disruption caused by AI: one in which the national unemployment rate reaches 5%, 10% and an unspecified, \u201cunprecedented\u201d level. The latest unemployment rate, reported last week, was 4.3%.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In the \u201cunprecedented\u201d scenario, the company wrote that more permanent support will be necessary, and it listed several ways to generate and share revenue broadly, including basic income, sovereign wealth models and equity-sharing mechanisms. This would be \u201cnovel economic territory,\u201d the company wrote.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s proposals also outlined several suggestions for mitigating safety and security risks. Anthropic is known for its emphasis on safety and building reliable, \u201csteerable\u201d AI systems, with Amodei and its co-founders splitting off from OpenAI to form the new company in 2021.<\/p>\n
