Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said an internal company economic model projects
AI could raise US economic output to about $44 trillion by 2030, from just over
$30 trillion today. Speaking at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in
Bangkok, Clark said the estimate "sounds outlandish" but argued rapid AI-driven
acceleration in scientific discovery could produce such growth. He urged
international cooperation to create "special and strict rules" for the
technology.
