About this event
The LSE Anthropic Economic Futures Symposium took place at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) on Wednesday 5 November, 2025. This half-day event convened leading policymakers, researchers, industry and civil society representatives to examine the economic implications of artificial intelligence (AI). Delivered in partnership by LSE and Anthropic, the symposium sought to define key policy and research priorities for an AI-enabled economy and identify strategies to prepare for the transformative shifts ahead.
The Symposium also marked the launch of the European branch of Anthropic’s Economic Futures Programme. It featured the latest findings from the Anthropic Economic Index – the first public analysis of real-world AI usage across geographies and occupations – presented by Dr Peter McCrory, Head of Economics at Anthropic.
The day concluded with three roundtables exploring: Labour Market Interventions and Automation; Fiscal Policy and Social Insurance; and Government Capacity and Measurement. These offered participants an opportunity for open, candid discussions on how AI-enabled economies that work for everyone can be built. Chairs included: Dr Anna Valero, Director, Growth Programme and Distinguished Policy Fellow, Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) and LSE; and Professor Sir Tim Besley, School Professor of Economics and Political Science at LSE.
