AI Could Add Trillions to the US Economy by 2030

Jack Clark spoke at big meetings in Bangkok. He helps run a company called Anthropic. He said artificial intelligence could make the United States economy much larger by 2030. The jump could be nearly 50 percent. That would take the economy from about 30 trillion dollars to 44 trillion dollars. Clark knows that sounds crazy. His company might sell shares to the public soon. It could be worth two trillion dollars.

Clark also talked about science. AI can help solve hard problems in math and biology. It might help create new medicines. People could work with hundreds of AI helpers. But there is a dark side. AI can be used to build weapons. It has already created new viruses in labs. That is why we need strict safety rules. Leaders must be open about how AI is used.

Jobs will change too. Some people will lose work in call centers and customer service. Other areas, like research, might add jobs. New industries could create work we cannot predict yet. Clark said humans still control AI for now. But the window to set rules is closing. It might be only a few years. Countries that want to join should build data centers.

The future feels uncertain. Progress could happen very fast. That might be exciting and scary at the same time. AI could help with high energy costs. But if it fails to improve productivity, markets could suffer. Some nations might fall behind. Everyone needs to think hard about what comes next.
