The Anthropic Institute exists to understand and shape the consequences of powerful AI systems. The Institute focuses on four major research areas that will determine whether these systems deliver radical upsides in science, security, economic development, and human agency—or whether they will pose a range of unprecedented risks.
Problems we’re working on
AI, jobs, and the economy.
How is AI reshaping jobs, inside Anthropic and elsewhere? And how do these impacts add up for economies around the world?
Threats and resilience.
What opportunities for greater societal resilience will powerful AI give us, and how could misuse of AI threaten or fracture social cohesion?
How AI systems behave in the wild.
What are the expressed “values” of advanced AI systems? How will societies shape their behavior, and how will they affect our own?
AI research and development
If AI systems are being used to autonomously develop and improve themselves, how do humans stay in the loop, and how will these systems be governed?
Scenarios for our economic future
Anthropic’s Economics team is sharing a new model of how AI may affect economic growth, jobs, wages, and more by 2030. The model lets you explore the scenarios, tell us what you think will happen, and see how your answers compare to +10,000 Americans.
Illuminating the frontier
Anthropic is sharing new measurements that would give the public visibility into frontier AI development.
When AI builds itself
Our progress toward recursive self-improvement, and its implications.
What 81,000 people want from AI
We invited Claude.ai users to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do. Nearly 81,000 people participated—the largest and most multilingual qualitative study of its kind. Here's what we found.
Economic Index
The Anthropic Economic Index reveals the shape of AI adoption across the world. Here, you can explore the data behind our research to understand how people are using Claude across every US state and hundreds of occupations.
