what happened
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said on Saturday that one internal economic model at the company projects US economic output rising to $44 trillion by 2030. He attributed the growth to rapidly improving AI, which he said could reshape nearly every field. He spoke at the 2026 IMF-World Bank Annual Meeting in Bangkok. US output is currently just over $30 trillion, a figure Clark himself described as very outlandish.
Seeking Alpha reported that Clark also called for international cooperation to set unusual and serious rules for the technology. He said AI could speed up scientific discovery but also raises risks tied to biological and cyber weapons. The projection, he noted, assumes the technology keeps getting better.
why it matters
For markets this is still one company's projection rather than an official forecast, so it has no direct effect on prices. Still, such expectations show how leading AI developers view future growth and regulation, and investors often factor them into valuations of technology stocks and long-term economic outlooks.
