Introducing the Anthropic Economic Advisory Council

Today, we’re announcing the formation of the Anthropic Economic Advisory Council, a group of distinguished economists who will provide Anthropic with expert guidance on the economic implications of AI development and deployment. The Council will advise Anthropic on AI's impact on labor markets, economic growth, and broader socioeconomic systems. This work will inform the research agenda for the Anthropic Economic Index , an initiative that aims to understand AI’s impact on the labor market and global economy over time.

As AI capabilities continue to advance, it has never been more critical to understand the opportunities and challenges this evolution presents to jobs and how we work. The Council will provide important input on areas where we can expand our research for the Economic Index. The Council members’ deep domain expertise will help guide our research on the changes AI will bring to the global economy. We hope this research will be a resource for policymakers, researchers, and business leaders worldwide as they weigh how to prepare for AI’s economic impact.

As we shared in our latest Economic Index report today, AI is already shifting how people approach tasks in their day-to-day work.

The initial cohort of Council members are experts in their respective fields, drawing on extensive experience from the highest levels of government and world-leading research institutions. We look forward to expanding membership over time as our research advances. We’re honored to welcome the following members:

We’re proud to share the addition of two new members to the Anthropic Economic Advisory Council:

To evaluate the safety of our systems, Anthropic is giving employee-like access to a team from METR, a nonprofit that evaluates frontier AI models, and we're in early discussions with several other organizations, including Hugging Face.
