It is unknown yet whether AI will lead to unprecedented growth or widespread unemployment. Anthropic's Economics team built a model to understand how AI might affect jobs, growth, and unemployment in the US in the coming years. The model found that AI will lead to adverse impacts on wages and job prospects for knowledge workers in scenarios where growth is faster than anything in economic history, and in those scenarios, the challenge will be making sure wealth is broadly shared. The answer will depend on how AI affects all the tasks that make up the economy, the new tasks it creates, and how fast AI takes on this work.

Custom attribution is premature until a channel has proven it works and the marketing mix is genuinely difficult to measure. Attribution helps answer where to put the next dollar across multiple working channels, not which channel works in the first place. Test channels first, then fix tracking, standardize ROAS, and model conversion value before building an attribution model. Custom attribution can pay off above roughly $3M in annual paid media, but the right threshold depends more on the complexity of the channel mix than the budget itself.
