Launching the Anthropic Economic Futures Programme in the UK…
Anthropic News人工智能在欧洲和英国的应用正快速扩大，但围绕其对劳动市场和宏观经济影响的政策讨论仍处于起步阶段。这很重要：今天决策者做出的选择，将在未来数年内影响整个大陆的劳动力结构、生产率和经济增长。
为帮助研究者、政策制定者与实务界正面应对这一议题， 我们将把 Anthropic 的 Economic Futures Programme 扩展到英国与欧洲，首站将在 London School of Economics and Political Science 举办一次研讨会，后续还会有更多活动。
在延续美国项目的基础上， Anthropic 的 Economic Futures Programme 包括向英欧研究者提供研究资助与 Claude credits、搭建像研讨会这样的政策评估论坛，以及提供有关这些国家实际 AI 使用情况的、更细化的数据。
英欧 AI 应用的初步观察
AI 可能在几年内压缩本来需要数十年完成的技术变革。 Anthropic Economic Index 针对现实中对 Claude 的使用所做的分析显示，AI 在英国和欧洲的行业中已广泛被采用。就大陆整体来看， Claude 最常被用于编码工作；在英国，则更多用于学术研究、写作与教育内容，这也与英国拥有世界上最古老大学之一的身份相契合。在德国，数据表明 Claude 正在支持本地制造业，按人均计算其在设备校准、故障排查与维修方面的使用特别高。在法国， Claude 在文化与旅游领域的应用也很突出，用于餐饮、购物和夜生活信息的频率是全球平均水平的四倍。
如此迅速的采用需要审慎的政策应对。为此，我们希望提供数据，并激发思路，帮助英国与欧洲的决策者据此为可能出现的劳动力转型做出明智抉择。
LSE — Anthropic Economic Futures 研讨会
在 London School of Economics and Political Science 举办的 LSE Anthropic Economic Futures Symposium 将汇聚百余位来自政府、学界与民间社会的专家，讨论 AI 的经济影响。通过 LSE 与 Anthropic 的公开征集程序遴选出的研究团队将提交政策建议，供英国与欧洲范围内的讨论与决策参考。
Anthropic 的经济学负责人 Peter McCrory 表示：“ LSE 一个多世纪以来一直走在经济研究的前沿，因而是我们邀请研究者、产业领袖与政策制定者共同研究 AI 影响的理想伙伴。欧洲有机会在推动增长与提高生产率的同时，确保这些收益能惠及劳动力市场各方。通过将严谨研究与可操作的政策建议结合，我们可以为即将到来的变局做好准备。”
把 Anthropic Economic Futures Programme 带到欧洲
与美国项目相同，英国和欧洲的 Anthropic Economic Futures Programme 将聚焦三大领域：
- 研究资助：我们将向研究 AI 对劳动力市场、生产率或价值创造影响的欧洲研究者提供资助与 API credits。详情请见 anthropic.com/economic-futures；申请现已开放，链接在此。
- 以证据为基础的政策制定： LSE 研讨会将是首场论坛，研究者、政策制定者与实务者将在基于欧洲实际 AI 使用数据的基础上制定并评估政策方案。
- 经济衡量与数据：我们将扩展 Anthropic Economic Index，提供更细分的欧洲特定信息，并定期公布追踪欧洲各行业与地区 AI 采用情况的公开数据。
London School of Economics 的 Professor Cosmina Dorobantu 补充道：“AI 迫使我们直面关于经济未来的一系列重要问题。本次研讨会正是为此而设。我们很高兴能与 Anthropic 合作举办这一活动，体现了 LSE 希望成为研究者、领先 AI 企业、政策制定者与民间社会代表汇聚寻求解决方案之地的志向。我们的工作不会止步于此，今天是我们共同努力的起点，旨在确保 AI 的变革性潜力能够带来惠及所有人的经济成果。”
英国与欧洲的下一步
欧洲今天在 AI 的发展、部署与治理上所做的决定，将塑造未来的经济格局。我们致力于与该地区的政策制定者、学者与经济学家合作，为即将到来的转型做好准备。

AI adoption is increasing rapidly in Europe and the UK, but the conversation about how to manage its effects on labor and the economy is still at a very early stage. This matters: the decisions politicians make today will affect the continent’s labor force, productivity, and growth for years to come.
We want to help researchers, policymakers, and practitioners tackle this topic head-on. To that end, we’re expanding our Economic Futures Programme to the UK and Europe, starting with a symposium at the London School of Economics and Political Science with more to follow.
Building on our US launch, the Economic Futures Programme includes research grants and Claude credits for UK and EU researchers, forums like the Symposium for evaluating AI policy, and the provision of additional, more granular data about actual AI use in these countries.
A look into UK and European AI adoption
AI could compress decades’ worth of technological change into just a few years. The Anthropic Economic Index, which examines the use of Claude in the real world, reveals that AI adoption is already widespread in industries throughout the UK and Europe. Across the continent, Claude is most often used for coding. In the UK, though—and perhaps fittingly for a country with some of the oldest universities in the world—the most common use of Claude is support for academic research, writing, and educational content. In Germany, data shows Claude is bolstering local manufacturing, with especially high per capita use for calibrating, troubleshooting, and repairing equipment. And in France, Claude is supporting the country’s culture and tourism, with four times the global average use for information about dining, shopping and the nightlife.
The rapid adoption of AI demands a thoughtful policy response. To inform this, we hope to provide the data—and prompt some of the ideas—that will help British and European policymakers make informed decisions about this potential workforce transition.
The LSE Anthropic Economic Futures Symposium
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Anthropic Economic Futures Symposium will gather over a hundred experts from government, academia, and civil society to discuss AI's economic impact. Researchers selected through LSE’s and Anthropic’s open-call process will present policy proposals to inform conversations across both the UK and Europe.
"The LSE has been on the forefront of economic research for over a century, making it an ideal partner as we bring together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to study the effects of AI," said Peter McCrory, Head of Economics at Anthropic. "Europe has a unique opportunity to develop approaches to AI adoption that drive growth and productivity while delivering those gains across the labor market. By combining rigorous research with practical policy recommendations, we can prepare for what’s ahead."
Bringing the Anthropic Economic Futures programme to Europe
As with the US, the Anthropic Economic Futures Programme in the UK and Europe will focus on three areas:
- Research grants: We will provide grants and API credits to European researchers investigating AI's effects on labor markets, productivity, or value creation. For full details, see here; applications are open here.
- Evidence-based policy: The LSE Symposium will mark the first of many forums where researchers, policymakers, and practitioners can develop and evaluate policy proposals grounded in real data on Europeans’ use of AI.
- Economic measurement and data: We're expanding the Anthropic Economic Index to provide more granular, Europe-specific information, with regular public data releases tracking AI adoption across European industries and regions.
Professor Cosmina Dorobantu at the London School of Economics added: "AI is forcing us to confront important questions about our economic future. Today's Symposium tackles these questions head-on. We are delighted to partner with Anthropic on this event, which exemplifies LSE's ambition to be the place where researchers, leading AI companies, policymakers, and civil society representatives converge to find solutions to the urgent socio-economic questions brought about by AI. Our work does not end here. Today marks the beginning of our collective efforts to ensure AI's transformative potential delivers an economy that works for everyone."
What's next for the UK and Europe
The decisions that people in Europe make today about the development, deployment, and governing of AI will shape the continent's economic future. We're committed to partnering with policymakers, academics and economists across the region to prepare for the transition ahead.
