Analyzing how Claude is used across the economy.
The Anthropic Economic Index aims to understand AI’s effects on the labor market and broader economy over time. The Index provides the clearest picture yet of how AI is being incorporated into real-world tasks across the modern economy.
Measuring trends over time
We will publish regular updates and reports that track AI usage trends, refining our approach based on feedback from the research and policy communities.
Collaborating with outside experts
We aim to collaborate with a wide range of experts, including economists and policy professionals, on this initiative.
Preserving privacy
The Anthropic Economic Index is made possible by Clio, a system that allows us to analyze conversations with Claude while preserving user privacy.
Introducing Anthropic Economic Futures
At Anthropic, we recognize that AI systems are already changing our economy and our work. Measuring and responding to these changes presents challenging questions that no one entity–including AI labs–can answer. However, we believe that we can help generate the rigorous research and analysis society needs to understand the economic impacts of AI systems and to craft sound policy responses. That’s why we’re launching the Anthropic Economic Futures program, a multidisciplinary effort that builds upon our existing economic research efforts.
