Anthropic co-founder Clark projects U.S. GDP to hit $44T by 2030 thanks to AI

[Business Leaders Speak At The Semafor World Economy Summit] Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images News Anthropic (ANTHRO [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ANTHRO]) ‌co-founder Jack Clark said on Saturday that one of his company’s internal economic models projected U.S. economic output to reach $44T by 2030 thanks to fast-improving AI capabilities that could transform all fields at a more rapid pace. He made the remarks at the 2026 IMF-World Bank Annual Meeting taking place in Bangkok this week. Clark called the $44T figure, which indicates a massive jump from the ⁠current U.S. economic output of little more than $30T, "sounds very outlandish,” but added that scientific discovery is expanding considerably due to AI.
