Claim LD08-SL-C32 (v1.0)

In July 2026 Anthropic committed $200 million to an Economic Futures Research Fund for external research on interventions to prepare society for AI’s economic impacts, mainly in projects of $5–30 million, supporting research “on interventions proposed in the EPF,” its own Economic Policy Framework, and on other open questions; its public page says it wants partners “willing to share what they’re learning publicly at key milestones” and states no terms on publication rights or review.
