Anthropic Publishes Fourth Economic Index Report

View source

Anthropic's fourth Economic Index introduces “economic primitives”—metrics for task complexity, education level, purpose (work/school/personal), AI autonomy, and success rates. Key findings: AI speeds up complex tasks more than simple ones; could add ~1–2 percentage points to US annual labor productivity over the next decade; usage varies with GDP and may equalize across US states within five years. Impact remains uneven across countries and occupations.
