Anthropic's Clark Says AI Could Lift US GDP to $44 Trillion by 2030

Summary
$44 trillion in US output by 2030 is possible under certain conditions, Jack Clark said, implying nearly 50% growth from today’s just-over-$30 trillion economy.
Rapid gains in AI capability underpin that forecast, Clark said, arguing the technology is accelerating scientific discovery and could spawn new industries and inventions needed to sustain such expansion.
Bangkok IMF-World Bank meetings gave Clark a platform to warn that the policy window is shrinking, with international cooperation needed to impose “unusual and serious rules” before AI outpaces human control.
AI dominated the meetings as officials weighed productivity gains against risks including job losses, countries being left behind and a market shock if lofty AI-driven valuations fail to deliver.
