AI Economy Simulator
Anthropic created an interactive model that lets people test how different levels of AI capability, adoption and worker displacement could reshape the US economy. Rather than making a firm prediction, the company turned an uncertain policy question into a set of contrasting scenarios, including one where GDP surges while unemployment reaches nearly 14%.
Why it worked: It turned a fuzzy, high-stakes policy debate into a journalist-friendly interactive with extreme, quantified scenarios and a built-in unemployment shock stat.
The lesson: Consider packaging uncertainty as a slider tool with three stark, quantified outcomes that surface one headline-grabbing, counterintuitive metric.
