Anthropic\u00a0on Wednesday joined growing calls for the\u00a0artificial intelligence\u00a0industry 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\u00a0Dario Amodei\u00a0published an essay on his\u00a0personal website\u00a0that 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\u00a0public wealth fund\u00a0that would spread the fortune generated by AI behemoths.<\/p>\n

In the Oval Office on Wednesday, President Donald Trump\u00a0told reporters\u00a0that 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 something to the public, and if we do that, the public will become very rich,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think they\u2019ll do that, and I think it\u2019ll make it 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 \u201cboth policymakers and the private sector to have the best chance to adapt and respond.\u201d He proposed better data collection to track AI job…<\/p>\n
