Anthropic warns AI may boost economic growth while displacing millions of workers and urges governments to strengthen unemployment benefits, wage support, retraining, and public services now. If AI eventually replaces broad human labor, it proposes new taxes, digital dividends, universal basic income, and other wealth-sharing measures to redistribute gains.

• Anthropic warns AI could drive massive economic growth while eliminating demand for most human labor, and current welfare systems won't adapt fast enough.
• They propose a three-stage framework, with Stage 3 being when machines handle most tasks, output surges, but millions are left without paid work.
• Anthropic urges governments to act now on unemployment benefits, wage support, and retraining, then later consider AI usage levies, wealth-sharing, or universal basic income if mass displacement occurs.
• They caution that such bold redistribution policies will likely face significant delays, lobbying, and loopholes before implementation.
