Anthropic and University of Chicago Collaborate on AI Economic Research

Anthropic has partnered with the University of Chicago's Becker Friedman Institute for Economics to explore AI's impact on labor markets and the economy. Announced in a press release, the collaboration will provide BFI faculty economists with access to Claude for Enterprise, training sessions on AI applications in economic research, and virtual workshops. This initiative extends Anthropic's Economic Index, which tracks AI's effects on the economy.

The partnership aims to deepen the analysis of AI's economic impacts by combining Anthropic's data with BFI's economic expertise. Economists will investigate productivity measurement, labor market transitions, and distributional impacts of AI adoption. The collaboration seeks to enhance methodologies for studying AI's economic effects, offering policymakers and researchers more robust insights.
